For her birthday, Kendra received a gift card in the mail from her grandparents. The gift card was worth $50. Kendra thought, since she had just received other gifts for her birthday, she would wait a while to spend the gift card. Unfortunately, Kendra forgot all about the gift card, and the card loses $5 every month after its date of purchase if it has not been used.

If Kendra forgot the card for three months, she lost $______.

Respuesta :

Answer:

She lost $15 on her 50 dollar credit card.

Explanation:

Since Kendra looses 5$ each month, we have to look at how many months the card was left unused. The card was left unused for 3 months. Multiply the $5 by 3 months to get $15. Her card is now at $35

The amount of money Kendra lost in her gift card is required.

Kendra lost $15.

Initial value of the gift card = $50

Money lost per month = $5

Let M be the number of months after the gift card was bought.

The money lost after M months passed would be

[tex]5M[/tex]

Kendra forgot about the gift card for 3 months

So, [tex]M=3[/tex]

[tex]5\times3=15[/tex]

Kendra lost $15.
