Question

a scientist plans to study exotic birds in the rain forest. the helicopter flight to and from the rain forest costs$499. supplies costs $122 for each day. how many days can the scientist spend in the rain forest on $1,283 budget ?

Answer 1

The scientist would be able to go to the rain forest for only 2 days.

Explanation:

The scientist only has 1,283. You subtract 1,283 by 122 and 499 and you are left with 662. The scientist wants to go to the rain forest again so he spends 122 and 499 with 662. All he has left now is 41. He can't afford it anymore.
