Answer 1

To find the amount remaining in Latesha's lunch account each day after she uses $3, you can subtract $3 from the amount of money she had the previous day.

Here are the calculations for each 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 | Amount Left in Account
--- | ---
0 | 85
1 | 82
2 | 79
3 | 76
4 | 73
5 | 70

So the amounts to fill in are:

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