Answer to Problem 17PPS

An algebraic expression is 10n−4.

Explanation of Solution

Given:four less than the amount of cents in a number of dimes

Calculation:

Let 'n' represents the number of dimes.

The words "amount in a number of indicates multiplication.

Since 1 dime = 10cents

The algebraic expression 10n gives the number of cents in 10 dimes.

The words "less than" indicates subtraction.

  10n−4

Conclusion:

Thus, an algebraic expression is 10n−4
