Question

Jennifer has a beginning balance of $4,750 in her Checking account. After depositing a paycheck (p), she writes a check (c), and another check (d). After writing the checks, she withdraws money from an ATM (a), then gets refunded some money (r) for returning a pair of shoes she bought. Write an Algebraic Expression that models the situation.

Answer 1

An Algebraic Expression that models the situation is
`4750+p-c-d+r`

Explanation:

Beginning balance of Jennifer=$4750

Now she deposits a paycheck = p

So, New balance = 4750+p

Now she writes a check = c

Remaining balance = 4750+p-c

Now she writes a check = d

Remaining balance = 4750+p-c-d

Now refunded some money (r) for returning a pair of shoes she bought.

New balance = 4750+p-c-d+r

Hence an Algebraic Expression that models the situation is
`4750+p-c-d+r`
