Question

teds coin jar has $145 worth of quaters inside. Ted plans to buy one candy bar for $0.50 from a convenience store each day. write an equation to represent the value of the jar after purchising candy bars for x amount of days. How much money is in the jar if ted bought 17 candy bars

Answer 1

Hey there! To represent the value of the jar after purchasing candy bars for x amount of days, we can start with the initial value of $145 and subtract $0.50 for each candy bar purchased.

So, the equation would be: Value of the jar = $145 - ($0.50 * x)

Now, if Ted bought 17 candy bars, we can substitute x with 17 in the equation to find out how much money is left in the jar. Let's calculate it!
