The equation is:
250 - (120 ÷ x)

Answer:

Money Possessed by Liam = $ 250

→Cost of Present , that Liam and his Classmate bought for their Teacher = $ 120

→Amount that Liam Paid for the present , is half of total Amount which is equal to,


=(120)/(2)=60$

Money Left with Liam

=$ 250 -$ 60

=$ 190
