Answer 1

Amount of money paid by each student is equal to
`\$3W+\$200`

Explanation:

Given: A group of children bought
`3` presents that cost
`\$W` each and a card that cost
`\$200`.

To find: amount of money each student paid in terms of
`W`

Solution:

Cost of each present
`=\$W`

Cost of
`3` presents
`=\$3W`

Cost of a card
`=\$200`

Therefore,

Amount of money paid by each student in terms of
`W` = Cost of
`3` presents + Cost of a card

`=\$3W+\$200`
