Verbal Statement 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.
