Question

Daniel owes his sister $33. His sister said that she would give him a third off the debt. Write an expression that you could use to solve to find how much Daniel would owe his sister.​

Answer 1

P=33-11

Explanation:

given that Daniel owes her $33

a third of $33

is 1/3*33

=$11

now let the amount Daniel will owe her after giving her a third of the debt be P

therefore the expression to find how much Daniel owes her will be

P=33-1/3*33

simplifying the expression we have

P=33-11

P=$22

Daniel will owe her $22
