Which of these equations best shows how much money you have left as you play the games? Money Left = -50 • Games Played + 47.50 Money Left = -0.50 • Games Played + 47.50 Money Left = 0.50 • Games Played + 47.50 Money Left = 47.50 • Games Played + 0.50

The equation that best shows how much money you have left as you play the games is:

Money Left = -0.50 • Games Played + 47.50

Explanation: This equation indicates that for every game played, you lose $0.50. The “+ 47.50” suggests that initially, you start with $47.50. The negative coefficient (-0.50) reflects the decrement in your total money as you play more games, which makes sense if you’re spending money on each game. In the other options, the coefficients either indicate positive earnings or suggest an unrealistic increase in money.
