To translate the statement "Remy lost some of the $14 his mom gave him" into an algebraic expression, we need to represent the amount that Remy lost as a variable and express it in relation to the total $14.

Let’s break it down:

  1. Start with the total amount Remy has, which is $14.
  2. If we denote the amount he lost as \( x \), then the correct expression to represent the amount Remy has left after losing some money would be \( 14 - x \).

The interpretations by the students would have to reflect this understanding. Without seeing the exact responses from Daniel, Alice, Camila, and Bobby, I cannot definitively tell you which one is correct. However, the correct algebraic expression should include $14 and a variable (for the lost amount) in the format of either \( 14 - x \) or a similar expression that acknowledges the initial amount and the loss.

If you can provide the specific responses from the students, I can help determine which one is correct.
