Determine Total Cost: Determine the total cost of the present.Since the cost is evenly split among 24 classmates, including Liam, we represent the cost of the present as $(p). Each classmate pays an equal share of the total cost.
Calculate Liam's Share: Calculate Liam's share of the cost.Liam's share of the cost is $p divided by 24. This can be represented as $24p.
Calculate Remaining Money: Calculate the amount of money Liam has left.Liam originally had $250. After contributing his share to the present, he will have $250 minus his share of the cost. This can be represented as $250−24$p.
Write Final Expression: Write the final expression.The final expression representing the amount of money Liam has left is $250−$24p.
