Question

250 - p/20

Explanation:

I just took the test...

Answer 2

The number of children who contribute toward the present is represented as
`'e'`

The cost of the present is 120 and the children split the cost evenly between them. The expression for this is
`(120)/(e)`

Liam has to give
`(120)/(e)` towards the present

Liam has 250 with him

If he gives
`(120)/(e)` away, then the money he has left is:


`250- (120)/(e)`
