Q. Liam had 250. Then, he and his classmates bought a present for their teacher, evenly splitting the $p cost among the 24 of them. How much money does Liam have left? Write your answer as an expression.
Calculate Contribution Amount: Calculate the amount each student has to contribute for the present.Since the cost of the present is $p and there are 24 students, each student's contribution is $24p.
Subtract Liam's Contribution: Subtract Liam's contribution from his initial amount of money. Liam had $250 initially, so after contributing his share for the present, he will have $250−($p/24) left.
Express Remaining Money: Express Liam's remaining amount of money as an algebraic expression.Liam's remaining money is $250−($24p).
