Question

Susanna has $8 and she spends $1 per day on bus fare. Alex has $11 and he spends $2 per day on bus fare. After d days, they will spend the same amount. Which answer below shows this relationship?

Answer 1

After 3 days, Susanna and Alex will have spent the same amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between Susanna and Alex's spending can be represented by the equation 8 - 1d = 11 - 2d, where d is the number of days. To find the value of d, we can solve the equation:

8 - 1d = 11 - 2d

Adding 2d to both sides:

d = 3

Therefore, after 3 days, Susanna and Alex will have spent the same amount.
