Answer 1

To calculate the amount remaining in Latesha's lunch account each day after she uses $3 for lunch, we start with the initial amount and subtract $3 for each subsequent day:

- **Day 0**: $85 (initial amount)
- **Day 1**: $85 - $3 = $82
- **Day 2**: $82 - $3 = $79
- **Day 3**: $79 - $3 = $76
- **Day 4**: $76 - $3 = $73
- **Day 5**: $73 - $3 = $70

Now, filling in the table:

- Day 0: $85
- Day 1: $82
- Day 2: $79
- Day 3: $76
- Day 4: $73
- Day 5: $70

So the filled-in amounts for each day would be:

- Day 1: 82
- Day 2: 79
- Day 3: 76
- Day 4: 73
- Day 5: 70
