If x represents the total number of bags a person checks and each person checks more than two bags, the equation below can be used to determine C, the total fee for all the bags. 20 + 25 + 50(x - 2) = C Arianna paid a total of $145 to check all her bags on a flight. How many bags did she check in all?

ganpat · Answer

20 + 25 + 50(x - 2) = C, 

where C =  $145

20 + 25 + 50(x - 2) =  145 

50 (x - 2) = 100 

x-2 = 2 

x = 4.. Total number of bags she checked in...
