Answer 2

The number of children who contribute toward the present is represented as $'e'$

The cost of the present is 120 and the children split the cost evenly between them. The expression for this is $\frac{120}{e}$

Liam has to give $\frac{120}{e}$ towards the present

Liam has 250 with him

If he gives $\frac{120}{e}$ away, then the money he has left is:

$250- \frac{120}{e}$
