Answer 1

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

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 the reasoning:

• The initial amount Jenny has is $2000.
• She spends $200 each day, represented by \(200x\), where \(x\) is the number of days.
• If she has $1000 left, we can set up the equation \(2000 - 200x = 1000\).

This correctly matches the structure of the equation provided.
