Answer 1

To represent the situation where you start with $314 and spend $25 per day on snacks and souvenirs, you can create the following equation:

1. You start with $314.
2. For each day on the trip (represented by \( x \)), you spend $25.

The equation can be formed as:

\[ y = 314 - 25x \]

Where:

• \( y \) is the amount of spending money you have left,
• \( x \) is the number of days you have been on the trip.

So, the complete equation is:

\[ y = 314 - 25x \]
