The equation \( 2000 - 200x = 1000 \) best represents the first situation:

Jenny went on vacation. She started with $2000 and spent $200 each day. Solve for x to find the number of days Jenny has been on vacation if she has $1000 left to spend.

Here's a breakdown of the equation:

  • \( 2000 \): The amount of money Jenny started with.
  • \( 200x \): The total amount of money Jenny spends over \( x \) days (spending $200 each day).
  • \( 1000 \): The amount of money Jenny has left after spending.

Thus, the equation accurately captures the scenario described in that option.

uh abc or d...

Apologies for the confusion. The best choice from the options provided is:

A: Jenny went on vacation. She started with $2000 and spent $200 each day. Solve for \( x \) to find the number of days Jenny has been on vacation if she has $1000 left to spend.
