You save half of the money from your paycheck plus an extra six dollars to buy a new bike. Write an expression for the amount of money you save from each paycheck
x/2 + 6
1/2p+6
To write an expression for the amount of money you save from each paycheck, let's break down the information given:
1. You save half of the money from your paycheck.
This means that you save 50% (or 0.5) of the total amount in your paycheck.
2. You also save an extra six dollars.
This means you add an additional $6 to the amount you save from your paycheck.
To calculate the amount of money you save from each paycheck, you can express it as:
Amount saved = 0.5 * (paycheck amount) + 6
In this expression, you multiply 0.5 (representing 50% or half) by the paycheck amount, and then add 6 to account for the extra money you save.
