Question

Audrey was given a gift card for a coffee shop. Each morning, Audrey uses the card to buy one cup of coffee. Each cup of coffee costs $2.50 and after buying 2 cups of coffee, the card had a $45 remaining balance. Write an equation for A,A, in terms of x,and x representing the amount money remaining on the card after buying x cups of coffee.

Answer 1

Answer:

The expression is y-2.50x=45

The gift card is worth $50

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

let y be the amount of the gift card

and let x be the number of cups of coffee bought

given that Audrey bought 2 cups x=2

y-2.50x=45

step two:

substitute x= 2 in the expression we have

y-2.5(2)=45

y-5=45

solving for y

y=45+5

y=$50

the expression is y-2.50x=45

the gift card is worth $50
