Write an equation and solve it to determine the number of classes that Jose can afford.

Respuesta :

Given:

Total amount Jose has =  $75

Registration fee = $15

Additional fee = $6 for each class

To find:

Number of classes that Jose can afford.

Solution:

Let x be the number of classes that Jose can afford.

Additional fee for 1 class = $6

Additional fee for x classes = $6x

Total fee = Registration fee + Additional fee for x classes

[tex]75=15+6x[/tex]

[tex]75-15=6x[/tex]

[tex]60=6x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6.

[tex]10=x[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation is [tex]75=15+6x[/tex] and the number of classes he can afford is 10.
