I have G dollars in my bank account. I spend 1/3 of my money on an Xbox and $20 on an Xbox controller. How much
money do I have remaining in my account?

Respuesta :

For this case we have:

G: Let the variable representing the amount of initial money in the account.

If you spend [tex]\frac {1} {3}[/tex]of G then we have:

[tex]G (1- \frac {1} {3}) = G (\frac {3-1} {3}) = \frac {2} {3} G[/tex]

Then spend $20, then we have:

[tex]\frac {2} {3} G-20[/tex]

Finally, the expression that represents the money left in the account is:

[tex]\frac {2} {3} G-20[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\frac {2} {3} G-20[/tex]
