Phil received a prize of
\[x\] dollars from a poker tournament. The tournament cost him
\[100\] dollars to enter.
What were Phil's net winnings from the tournament?
Write your answer as an expression.
dollars

Answer 1

To determine Phil's net winnings from the tournament, we can start with the prize money he received and subtract the cost of entering the tournament.

Phil's prize money is \( x \) dollars, and the entry fee for the tournament is 100 dollars. Therefore, his net winnings can be expressed as:

\[
\text{Net winnings} = x - 100
\]

So the expression for Phil's net winnings is:

\[
x - 100 \text{ dollars}
\]
