Question

Juan was given a gift card for a coffee shop. Each morning, Juan uses the card to buy one cup of coffee. Each cup of coffee costs $2 and the original amount of money on the gift card was $30. Write an equation for A, in terms of x, representing the amount money remaining on the card after buying of coffee.

Answer 1

Answer:

$A=30-2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one cup of coffee=$2

The original amount of money on the gift card= $30

Juan's expenses in buying coffee, after $x$ morning are $\ 2\times x$.

The amount of money left, $A$, on the card $=$ (Original amount) $-$ (Total expenses)

$A=30-2x$

Hence, the equation for, $A$, the amount of money remaining on the card is

$A=30-2x.$
