Question

Word problem plz help pt.1​

Answer 1

equation csn be represented as

money left = 500 - (n-1)×4.65

so we can see in first week money left

= 500 - (1-1)×4.65= 500-0=500

which is true because first week chaya got gift card and does not spend any money.

now lets assume that on week n money left is 327.95

so by equation

500 -(n-1)×4.65 = 327.95

500- 327.95 =( n-1)× 4.65

n -1 = 172.05/4.65=37

n = 37+1 = 38

in 38th week money left would be 327.95
