Question

A man had 260 watches. He sells x watches every day. Write an algebraic expression to show the number of watches he would be left after t weeks.

Answer 1

Answer:

If 260 watches were there with a man and if he sells x watches daily, then the number of watches left with him = 260-7xt

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The total number of watches the man had = 260

Number of watches he sells everyday = x

Number of watches he sells in a week = 7x ( since 1 week has 7 days)

Number of weeks he sold watches = t weeks

So, the number of watches he sold in weeks = 7x *t = 7xt

So, the number of watches left with him = 260 - 7xt
