Question

Andre has x dollars. He buys lunch using 1/6 of his money and then earns $8 by doing chores after school. What 2 expressions represent how much money Andre has left over?

Answer 1

65​x+8

Explanation:

Sure, let’s break this down:

Andre initially has x.

He spends 61​ of his money on lunch. The amount spent on lunch is 61​x.

After buying lunch, Andre has x−61​x left.

Andre then earns $8 from doing chores.

So, the two expressions that represent how much money Andre has left over are:

Before earning from chores: x−61​x=65​x

After earning from chores: 65​x+8

So, Andre has 65​x dollars left before doing chores and 65​x+8 dollars left after doing chores.

Answer 2

The two expressions that represent how much money Andre has left over are:

1. Expression 1: x - (1/6)x + 8
Explanation: Andre buys lunch using 1/6 of his money, so the amount spent on lunch is (1/6)x. After that, he earns $8 by doing chores. Therefore, the expression represents the remaining amount of money Andre has after buying lunch and earning $8.

2. Expression 2: (5/6)x + 8
Explanation: Since Andre buys lunch using 1/6 of his money, the amount of money left after lunch is (5/6)x. After earning $8 by doing chores, the expression represents the total amount of money Andre has left over.

Note: Both expressions represent the same value, which is the amount of money Andre has left over after buying lunch and earning $8.
