Question

A dog rescue has a monthly budget of x dollars every month $1,032 is spent on dog food and supplies. One fifth of the remaining budget is spent on adoption events. Write a function that can be used to find the amount spent in dollars on adoption events

Answer 1

The amount spent on adoption events=1/5(x-1,032) dollars

Explanation:

To get the total amount spent on adoption events we derive the following expression;

Total monthly budget on dog=Food and supplies+Adoption events

where;

Total monthly budget on dog=x

Food and supplies= $1,032

Remainder=Total monthly budget on dog-Food and supplies

Remainder=(x-1032)

Adoption events=(1/5)×remainder=(1/5)×(x-1032)=(x/5)-206.4

Adoption events=(1/5)×(x-1032)=(x/5)-206.4

The amount spent on adoption events=1/5(x-1,032) dollars
