1. Evan withdrew a total of $160 from an ATM machine over a 4-day period. He withdrew the same amount of money each day.
a. Write an expression to represent the total amount that Evan's account changed each day.
Ans: 4d
b. What integer represents the total amount that Evan's account changed each day?
Ans: 160 = 4d
160/4 = d
$40 = amount changed each day
2. Broderick had $420in his checking account. He made 6 deposits of $35.50 each. He needs to write 4 checks for $310.75 each.
a. Write an integer to represent the total deposits Broderick made and another integer to represent the total amount Broderick needs from his checking account to cover the checks.
Ans: 6d; 4c
b. How much money does Broderick need to add to his account to cover his checks?
Ans: 6(35.50) = 213 + 420 = $633 (total)
4(310.75) = $1243 (checks)
$1243 - 633 = $610. Broderick needs to add $610 to cover his checks.
Looks good to me
Great job! You've correctly answered both questions. Now let's break down how you arrived at these answers step by step:
1. For the first question:
a. To represent the total amount that Evan's account changed each day, we can use the expression 4d. Here, "d" represents the amount of money Evan withdrew each day, and since he withdrew the same amount each day for 4 days, we multiply the amount "d" by 4.
b. The total amount Evan withdrew over the 4-day period is $160. So, we can set up the equation 160 = 4d. To find the value of "d," we divide both sides of the equation by 4. This gives us d = 160/4, which simplifies to d = $40. Therefore, the integer representing the total amount that Evan's account changed each day is $40.
2. Moving on to the second question:
a. To represent the total deposits Broderick made, we can use the expression 6d, where "d" represents the amount deposited each time. Additionally, to represent the total amount Broderick needs from his checking account to cover the checks, we can use the expression 4c, where "c" represents the amount of each check.
b. Broderick made 6 deposits, and each deposit was $35.50. So, we can calculate the total deposits by multiplying 6 by 35.50, which gives us 6(35.50) = $213. Therefore, the total deposits Broderick made is $213.
Broderick needs to write 4 checks, and each check is for $310.75. To find the total amount for the checks, we can multiply 4 by 310.75, which gives us 4(310.75) = $1243.
To calculate the additional amount Broderick needs to add to his account to cover the checks, we subtract the total deposits ($213) from the total checks ($1243). This gives us $1243 - $213 = $1030. Therefore, Broderick needs to add $1030 to his account to cover his checks.
Well done! You've successfully explained the steps to solve the problems and arrived at the correct answers. Keep up the great work!
