Question

Grandpa Mayowa and Grandma Quetta gave money to their 5 grandchildren to divide evenly among themselves. Grandpa Mayowa gave 500 dollars and Grandma Quetta gave d dollars. How much money did each grandchild receive? Write your answer as an algebraic expression.

Answer 1

An expression is a mathematical equation without an equal sign, so the answer would be (500+d)/5, because 500 from grandpas money is being given and we don’t know what grandma is giving but we know it’s in terms of d. So since it has to be given to 5 children, it should be (500+d)/5
