Question

Andre has x dollars. He buys lunch using 1/6 of his money and earns 8$ by doing chores after school

Which expressions represent how much money Andre has left? Select TWO that are correct.

Answer 1

Correct Answers: B,C

Explanation:

Lets set up the equation. In this problem, they are using "x" as the amount of money Andre has. Andre currently has "x" dollars. Since he uses 1/6 of his money, you subtract 1/6x as he has x money . Since he earns 8 dollars, add 8.

x - 1/6x + 8

The reason why option "b" works is because 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.
