Select the choice that translates the following verbal phrase correctly to an algebraic expression: 8 times the quantity of 5 less than 10

A. 8(10 - 5)

B. (8 • 5) - 10

C. 8(5 - 10)

D. (8 • 10) - 5

A

Step-by-step explanation:

"8 times" = 8 must be alone and not being multiplied or subtracted from anything

"the quantity of" is asking for a number

"5 less than 10" = 5, so we must see (10 - 5) in the correct answer

so we get 8 times 5, or 8(10 - 5)

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
