m=15d-300

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

300-15d = m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he spends 15 each day, we dont know how many days, so we put 15d to represent $15 spent each day (d)

We use this formula above ^ and subtract that from 300, which is why it's

300 - 15d

Lastly, we need to find money remaining, so 300 - 15d = m
