Complete question :

There are 575 fireworks to be shot off in a firework display every minute 12 new fireworks are shot off display write a verbal model and algebraic expression to represent the number of fireworks left to be shot off after t minutes.

Answer:

575 - 12t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total number of fireworks = 575

Number of shots per minute = 12

To calculate the number of fireworks left to be shot off after t minutes, The total number of fireworks already shot after the same time interval t in minutes, is first obtained, this is equivalent to (12*t). The result is then subtracted from the total number of fireworks to be shof off.

In algebraic terms

[total number of fireworks on display - (number of shots per minute × t)]

575 - 12t
