Elena joined a golf club two years ago. She pays an annual membership fee of $925 and a greens fee of $38 each time she plays a game of golf. The function below can be used to calculate her total yearly golfing fee, f (g), in dollars. f (g) = 925 + 38g , where g represents the number of times she plays golf during the year. Last year she paid $1,913 as a total golfing fee. For how many games did she pay a greens fee? The answer is 26 right? 1913 is f(g) solve for g (1913 - 925)/38 = 26
Crew's surf shop charges $15 per hour to rent paddle boards and $5 per hour to rent a wetsuit. Kai and Reyna paid a total of $260 to rent a paddle board and a wetsuit each one day. Reyna rented them for 3 hours less than Kai. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the number of hours Kai rented a surfboard and a wetsuit. 15x + 5x + 15(x − 3) + 5(x − 3) = 260 What is the total amount Kai paid to rent the paddle board and wetsuit that day? I got 160 for my answer, is that correct?
A website recorded 1,351 visitors one month. This was 30% less than the number of visitors to the site the previous month. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the number of visitors to the site the previous month. x − 0.3x = 1,351 How many visitors did the website record in both months combined? is the answer 3108? im not sure
or maybe it 1930?
there's a lot I know, im sorry but word problems seem to be the hardest for me, so I want to make sure there right! :)
No problem. The first one is right. The last one is 0.7x = 1351 => x = 1351/0.7 = 1930. 1930 + 1351 = 3281
and what about the one in the middle there?
Seems correct.
:-)
