Tim has m dollars. Rebecca has $6 less than 1/10 times the number of dollars that Tim has. Which expression represents the total amount of money that Tim and Rebecca have? If Tim has $70, how much money do Rebecca and Tim have altogether?

Respuesta :

So, Tim has $70, and Rebecca has $6 less than 1/10 of the total money that Tim has.
70 divided by 10 would be 7, then Rebecca has $6 less than the 1/10, which would conclude to Rebecca having $1.
Tim and Rebecca together have a total of $71!
Hope this helped!
[tex]\text {Tim = m dollar}[/tex]

[tex]\text {Rebecca = } \dfrac{1}{10} m - 6[/tex]

[tex]\text {Amount of money they have together = } m + \dfrac{1}{10}m - 6[/tex]

[tex]\text {Amount of money they have together = } \dfrac{11}{10}m - 6[/tex]

If Tim earns $70, then substitute m = 70 into the equation :

[tex]\text {Amount of money they have together = } \dfrac{11}{10} (70) - 6[/tex]

[tex]\text {Amount of money they have together = } \$71[/tex]
