Question

A scientist plans to study exotic birds in the rain forest. The helicopter

flight to and from the rain forest costs $499. Supplies cost $112 for each
day. How many days can the scientist spend in the rain forest on a
$1,283 budget?

Answer 1

2 days

Explanation:

For the flight to and from it will cost a total of $998

We subtract the flight from the budget, which leaves us with $285

Next, we subtract 1 day from $285 which is $112

That leaves us with $173.

We then subtract one mire day ($112) which leaves us with $61
