The correct answer is:
A. The expression 54(16)5(2) shows what Kirk saved in the first week. Kirk saved $676.
To find out how much money Kirk saved in the first week, we need to add up the amounts he saved and subtract the amounts he spent.
Kirk saved $16 from his allowance and $54 from his job, which gives us a total of 16 + 54 = $70.
He spent $5 for lunch and $2 on the bus, so we subtract those amounts: $70 - $5 - $2 = $63.
Therefore, Kirk saved $63 in the first week.
The correct answer is option C. The expression 54(16)(5)2 shows what Kirk saved in the first week. Kirk saved $63.
To find out how much money Kirk saved in the first week, let's break down the information given.
From his allowance, Kirk saved $16.
From his job, Kirk saved $54.
Kirk also had some expenses. He spent $5 on lunch and $2 on the bus.
To calculate how much money Kirk saved in the first week, we need to subtract his expenses from his savings:
Savings in the first week = (Allowance savings + Job savings) - Expenses
= ($16 + $54) - ($5 + $2)
= $70 - $7
= $63
Therefore, Kirk saved $63 in the first week.
Looking at the answer choices:
A. The expression 54(16)5(2) is incorrect because it does not subtract the expenses.
B. The expression 1654(5)(2) is incorrect because the multiplication is not in the correct order.
C. The expression 5416(5)2 is incorrect because the multiplication is not in the correct order.
D. The expression 1654(5)(2) shows what Kirk saved in the first week. Kirk saved $63.
So the correct answer is D. Kirk saved $63 in the first week.
