Question

At the beginning of the school year, Jayden's mother put $80 in his cafeteria account. Each time Jayden orders lunch, it deducts $2.75 from his account balance.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 80 - 2.75n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Beginning = 80$

$Rate = 2.75$

Required

Model the situation using an equation

Represent the number of orders with n

Represent the balance with y

y is calculated as:

$y = Beginning - Rate * n$

We used minus because the amount is being deducted

$y = 80 - 2.75* n$

$y = 80 - 2.75n$
