Rick has saved [tex]\$680[/tex] for a trip. He spent [tex]\$240[/tex] on plane tickets. Then, his friend gave him [tex]\$50[/tex] more to spend on his trip. Which of the following shows how Rick can enter this into his calculator to find how much money he has altogether?

A. [ON/C] [680] [+] [240] [-] [50]
B. [ON/C] [240] [+] [680] [-] [50]
C. [ON/C] [240] [-] [680] [+] [50]
D. [ON/C] [680] [-] [240] [+] [50]



Answer :

To determine how much money Rick has altogether after his transactions, we can break down the steps he needs to take:

1. Rick starts with [tex]$680. 2. He spends $[/tex]240 on plane tickets.
3. His friend gives him an additional [tex]$50 for his trip. We need to figure out the correct sequence of entries on Rick's calculator to find his current total amount of money. Let’s go step-by-step: - Rick starts with $[/tex]680, which means we begin with the number 680.
- Rick spends [tex]$240 on plane tickets, which means we subtract 240 from 680. - Rick’s friend then gives him $[/tex]50, which means we add 50 to the result of the previous subtraction.

Putting these steps together, the mathematical operations would be entered into the calculator in the following sequence:

[tex]\[ 680 - 240 + 50 \][/tex]

Thus, the correct series of calculator entries that mirrors these operations is:
[tex]\[ [ON/C] [680] [-] [240] [+] [50] \][/tex]

So, the correct choice is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{[ON/C] [680] [-] [240] [+] [50]} \][/tex]
