To calculate the amount remaining in Latesha's lunch account for each day, we start with the initial amount of $45 and subtract $4 for each day she purchases lunch. Here is the calculation for each day:

  • Day 0: $45
  • Day 1: $45 - $4 = $41
  • Day 2: $41 - $4 = $37
  • Day 3: $37 - $4 = $33
  • Day 4: $33 - $4 = $29
  • Day 5: $29 - $4 = $25

Now, filling in the amounts:

Day | Amount Left in Account --- | --- 0 | 45 1 | 41 2 | 37 3 | 33 4 | 29 5 | 25

So, the amounts remaining in Latesha's account each day (without the $ symbol) are:

  1. 41
  2. 37
  3. 33
  4. 29
  5. 25
