Question

The school's Environmental Science Club has $500 of funds. Each time they go on a field trip, it costs

them $80. Write an algebraic expression that represents the money the club has after going on field
trips. Use the Math equation tool va to answer the question.

Answer 1

Given:

Total fund = $500

cost of each trip = $80

To find:

The an algebraic expression that represents the money the club has after going on field trips.

Solution:

Let x be the number of field trips.

Cost of 1 field trip = $80

Cost of x field trip = $80x

We have, Total fund = $500.

So, the money the club has after going on field trips is

`\text{Remaining money}=500-80x`

Therefore, the money the club has after going on field trips is $(500-80x).
