Question

Sophie pays m dollars to rent a car for the weekend. On the drive home, she buys $25 worth of gasoline. Her friend Melody pays for one-half the cost of the car rental only. Write an expression you could use to determine how much Sophie spent.

Answer 1

25/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

a= 1/2m+25

Explanation:

As the statement says that Sophie pays for one half of the cost of the car rental (m) and that she spent $25 on gasoline, the expression that could be used to determine the amount that she spent would be equal to the sum of one half of the cost of the car rental plus 25:

a= 1/2m+25

a= amount Sophie spent

m= cost of the car rental
