michelle has $800 to spend on baseball tickets. she spends %15 on tickets for each game. write an equation to represent the about of money she has left after attending x games

Answer 1

To represent the amount of money Michelle has left after attending $x$ games, we can start by calculating how much she spends on tickets for each game.

If she spends 15% of her total money on tickets for each game, we can express that as:

$$\text{Amount spent per game}=0.15\times 800=120$$

So, for each game, she spends $120.

If she attends $x$ games, the total amount spent after attending $x$ games would be:

$$\text{Total amount spent}=120x$$

Now, to find the amount of money she has left after attending $x$ games, we subtract the total amount spent from her original amount of money ($800):

$$\text{Amount left}=800-120x$$

So the equation that represents the amount of money Michelle has left after attending $x$ games is:

$$A=800-120x$$

where $A$ is the amount of money she has left.
