    Answer: he would have $6 left.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of local animal shelters that he donates.

    He buys an airplane model kit for $9 and he wants to donate $8 to each of several local animal shelters. This means that the total amount that he would spend if he bought x local animal shelters is

    9 + 8x

    Guy has saved a total of $95. This means that

    9 + 8x = 95

    8x = 95 - 9

    8x = 86

    x = 10.75

    The number of local animal shelters that he can buy is 10.

    The amount that he will have left if he donates to as 10 local animal shelters is

    95 - (80 - 9) = $6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1. 95-8=86 (bought 1 plane kit)

    Step 2. Find how many planes he can buy with the remainder of the money

    86/8=10.75

    Therefore he can only buy 10 planes to donate to the animal shelter as he will won't have enough money to by 11 planes.
