Alexander was given a gift card for a coffee shop. Each morning, alexander uses the card to buy one cup of coffee. Each cup of coffee costs $1.50 and after buying 4 cups of coffee , the card had a $9 remaining balance. Write an equation for A in terms of x

Answer 1

A = (cost per cup of coffee * number of cups) + balance

$15

Explanation:

Given that :

Cost per cup of coffee = $1.50

Number of cups purchased = 4

Balance on card = $9

Let A = worth of gift card

A = (cost per cup of coffee * number of cups) + balance

A = (1.50 * 4) + 9

A = 6 + 9

A = $15
