8. Mr. Losse went on a trip and spent the same amount of money each day. After 5 days, he had $350 left.
After 8 days, he has $260 left. Write an equation that represents the number of dollars he had (y) based on the
number of days he was on the trip (x).
How much money did he start with?

Answer 1

500 Dollars

Explanation:

Y initial = ?

Y final = 260

X initial = 0

X final = 8

at first 5 days she left with 350 dollars and after 3 days 260. in 3 days she uses 90 dollars so that means she used 90/3 dollars per day, or 30 dollars per day.

after 5 days she had 350 dollars, if she used same amount of money per day that would mean 350 + 5 × 30 = Y initial

350 + 5 × 30 = 500

500 = Y initial

she started with 500 Dollara
