ANSWER
With each additional day, the amount left on the card decreased by .
With each additional day, the amount left on the card decreased by an unknown amount. The specific decrease for each day is not provided in the question, so it is not possible to fill in the blanks.
To fill in the blanks, we need to identify the pattern in the data given. From the table, we can see that the amount left on the card decreases each day. To find the decrease each day, we subtract the amount of money from the previous day from the amount of money on the current day.
So, to find the decrease from Monday to Tuesday, we subtract the amount on Tuesday from the amount on Monday. Similarly, we subtract the amount on Wednesday from the amount on Tuesday to find the decrease from Tuesday to Wednesday, and so on.
Once we have computed the decrease for each day, we can see that the amount left on the card decreases by a certain value with each additional day. This value represents the decrease from one day to the next. We can fill in the blanks by writing "decreased by" to indicate the change in the amount left on the card with each additional day.
To find the actual values for the decreases, we need the specific amounts of money for each day. Once we have those values, we can compute the decreases and fill in the table accordingly.
