Question

john has $305, and he is spending $3 each day. which algebraic expression describes this situation, where d represents the number of days?

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure but i think it should be like this:

305 - 3d

Answer 2

Answer:

The algebraic expression which describes this situation is:

                         $305-3d$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

John has $305, and he is spending $3 each day.

This means that : each day his saving are decreasing by $ 3

Hence, at the end of first day he will be left with:

             $(305-3)$

At the end of the second day he will be left with:

                $[(305-3)-3]= (305-3\times 2)$

Similarly at the end of the third day he will be left with:

           $(305-3\times 3)$

Hence, for the d days he will have:

                        $(305-3d)$
