Question

Marshall took $36.75 to a fair. Each ticket into the fair costs x dollars. Marshall bought 3 tickets. Which expression represents the amount of money, in dollars, that Marshall had after he bought the tickets?

Answer 1

If x will be the fair cost, then you should have 36.75 - 3x amount of money left after he bought the ticket

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Marshall took $36.75 to a fair.

Each ticket into the fair costs x dollars.

Marshall bought 3 tickets.

We have to find the expression that represents the amount of money, in dollars, that Marshall had after he bought the tickets.

Cost of 1 ticket= $x

Then, cost of 3 tickets= $3x

Then, the amount Marshall is left with=  36.75-3x

The expression that represents the amount of money, in dollars, that Marshall had after he bought the tickets is:

       36.75-3x
