Question

Deshaun had b dollars to begin with. He just spent 37 dollars. Using b, write an expression for the number of dollars he has left.

Answer 1

Given that Deshaun has 'b' dollars, and he spent 37 dollars from it.

So the remaining number of dollars will be obtained by subtracting the amount spent from the total amount,

`\text{Amount Left=Total Amount-Expenditure}`

Substitute the values,

`\text{Amount Left=b-37}`

Thus, the number of dollars left to Deshaun is given by the expression

"b - 37".
