Algebraic Equation

A student receives Php 100.00 a week for lunch in school. The

cafeteria charges Php 25.00 for a plate lunch. Write an equation to
help the student calculate the amount of money m left after d days,
assuming the student purchases the plate lunch once each day.
A recipe calls for 1/3 cup of chocolate chips. Write an equation to
determine the number of cups c of chocolate chips needed to make
the recipe n times.
The formula f for finding the number of stars in a quilt is the
number of rows r times the number of columns c. Write a formula
in mathematical notation for finding the number of stars.
A private parking area charges Php 100.00 per vehicle for the first
hour and an additional charge of Php 25.00 per hour (or a fraction
of an hour) thereafter. Also, it charges Php 10.00 per person
excluding the driver. If the total charge is represented by T, and the
number of people in the vehicle is represented by n, write an
equation that can be used to find the cost per vehicle.
