Question

Kira received a $20.50 gift card for a photo center. She used it to buy prints that cost 6 cents each. The remaining balance, B (in dollars), on the card after buying x prints is given by the following. B = 20.50 - 0.06x What is the remaining balance on the card if Kira bought 50 prints?

Answer 1

The remaining balance on the card after buying 50 prints is $17.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining balance on the gift card after buying x prints can be found using the equation B = 20.50 - 0.06x. To find the remaining balance when Kira bought 50 prints, substitute x with 50 in the equation. B = 20.50 - 0.06 * 50 = 20.50 - 3 = $17.50.
