Answer:


(6000-p)/(24)

Explanation:

Lets understand the question.

Liam had $250

Cost of gift = p

Total Students = 24 (including Liam)

Each paid:

p/24 (Liam also paid this amount)

So, in terms of Liam, he would have:

250 (already had)

expended p/24 for gift, now he has:


250-(p)/(24)\\=(250(24)-p)/(24)\\=(6000-p)/(24)

This is amount of money Liam had left in terms of p.
