Question

The table below shows the fees to check bags on a certain airline.

A 2-column table with 'Type of Bag' and 'Fee per Bag' as the column headings. The first checked bag costs $20, the second checked bag costs $25, and extra bags cost $50 each

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

Answer 2

C = 20 + 25 + 50 ( x - 2) = 145
C = 45 + 50 (x - 2) = 145
50 (x - 2) = 100
x - 2 = 2
x = 4
