Question

Mr. Fishie bought a tank for $15 and 10 fish which cost $f each. If he gave the cashier two 20-dollar bills, what was his change in terms of f?

Answer 1

$25 - $10f

Explanation:

Fishie's name is fishy.

We know Mr. Fishie spent $15 on a tank. His 10 fish cost 10*$f. His total is:

Total =15 + 10*f

His change after 2 $20 would be:

$40 - ($15 - $10f), or

$25 - $10f
