Question

Verenice has a $35 gift card to McDonals.Every time she goes,she spends $5 on her meal.Write an equation that represents y, the amount of money left on her gift card,after she buys x meals

Answer 1

y=35-5x

Explanation:

Y is her leftover, which means that we need to find her total amount when she buys a meal. Since she spends 5 dollars a meal, x stands for the amount of each meal

We subtract the total amount of money spent on meals with the amount of her gift card, to get y, the amount of money left on her card after she buys x meals.

Answer 2

35-5x=y because 35 dollars subtracted by the amount of times she spent the 5 dollars is the remaining which is y
