Question

Tim has m dollars. Rebecca has $6 less than times the number of dollars that Tim has. Which expression represents the total amount of money that Tim and Rebecca have? If Tim has $70, how much money do Rebecca and Tim have altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

$71

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim has M dollars

Rebecca is having (M/10 - 6)

Then, the amount of money Tim and Rebecca are having

= M + M/10 - 6

= (11M/10) - 6 dollars

The expression representing the total amount of money is [(11X/10) - 6]

If Tim is having $70, then total amount both would have together

= [(11 × 70/10) - 6]

= 77 - 6

= $71

Therefore, the expression for the total amount is [(11M/10) - 6] dollars

The total amount both are having together is $71.
