Question

Mike saves $42 a week for 7 weeks. During his 8-day vacation, he plans to spend $8.25 each day for snacks. Which expression shows how much money he will have left?

Answer 1

($42 × 7) - ($8.25 × 8)

Explanation:

Given that

Mike saves $42 a week for 7 weeks

And, his 8 day vacation, he plans to spend $8.25 each day

We need to find out the expression of how much he would have left

So,

Since the amount $42 is for a week

So for 7 weeks, it would be

= $42 × 7

And, he spends $8.25 each day,

And, for 8 days, it would be

= $8.25 × 8

So, the expression is

= ($42 × 7) - ($8.25 × 8)
