Hello 156339

Since we know the amount of money is always decreasing, then we should know to subtract by 35. Because 2.25 is the cost per meal and x is the number of meals, the total cost should be 2.25x, which is correct because y is the amount of money left over.

Our final equation would be:

y = 35 - 2.25x
