Jim received a $35.75 gift card for a photo center. He used it to buy prints that cost 25 cents each. The remaining balance, b (in dollars), on the card after buying x prints is given by the following.

Question

b=35.75 - 0.25x
What is the remaining balance on the card if Jim bought 50 prints

Answer 1

To find the remaining balance on the card if Jim bought 50 prints, we can substitute x = 50 into the equation above:
b = 35.75 - 0.25(50)
b = 35.75 - 12.5
b = 23.25
Therefore, the remaining balance on the card if Jim bought 50 prints is $23.25.
