Write an equation to represent the relationship between the amount of money spent on other expenses and the amount of money that is left?

Question

Megan has $2500. She spends money on the following:

$800 on Rent

$400 on food

$200 on utility 

$250 on loan payments

$x on other expenses

Let V represent the amount of money in dollars Megan has left. Write an equation that represents the relationship between the amount of money Megan spends on other expenses and the amount of money Megan has let.

Answer 1

The amount of money Megan has let.=V

the amount of money Megan spends on other expenses=x

 

x+ 800+400+200+250+V=2500

 

x+1650+V=2500

 

x+V =850
