Question

you and your four friends plan a surprise party interview contribute to the same amount of money for food write an algebraic expression for the total amount of money contributed for food evaluate your expression if each person contributed $5.25

Answer 1

since there are in total 5 persons in the group (you and four friends) then the expression will be 5m, where m is the amount of money that will contribute each friend.

if each friend contributes 5.25 dollar then the total amount of money will be (5)x(5.25)=26.25 dollars
