Question

Rufus saves $48 a week for 6 weeks. During his 5-day business trip, he plans to spend $32.50 each day for meals. Which expression shows how much money he will have left?

Answer 1

the answer is C. $48 for 6 days is 48(6), then subtract the amount of money Rufus will spend, which is 5(32.5), so it's 48(6)-5(32.5)

Answer 2

I believe the answer would be C. (48×6) - (5 × 32.5)

Here the reasoning behind it: Rufus is saving up 48$ per week, for six weeks straight. With that, you'd have to multiply to find how much he'd saved within six weeks altogether. And then, he decides to spent $32.50 for 5 days straight, which would imply that this amount of money altogether was being taken away from the amount of money he had saved. So you would subtract, which is why C is the answer.
