CHANGE TO:
How do I write a statement using symbolic language for this statement? Steven has some money. iF he spends nine dollar, then he will have 3/5 of the amount he started with. I need to use symbolic language.


THE HELP:
Give a variable to the unknown quantity, the amount of money Steven first had.
Call it for example, m. From here, just translate exactly what is written into the symbolism. LITERALLY TRANSCRIBE THIS!
--
m, the Money Steve has.
