Question

1.3.3- You currently have $50. You plan on spending $2 each day on candy at the

comer store on your way home from school. How long will it take until you are
left with only $18?
Your answer

Answer 1

It will take 16 days.

Explanation:

50-18=32

32/2=16

32 represents the total amount of money spent before ending up with $18 left. If you spend $2 a day, just divide 32/2 (Total/Rate?). The final answer is 16 days.

To check, divide 50/2 to get 25 (days) and subtract the days we have (16).

25-16=9

9x2=18 or the $18 in the end of the problem.

If any of that was confusing, I'll be happy to answer any questions. It's just a pretty easy question so I am not sure if I did anything how you want or don't want it done.
