I have a question..??!!! Write and solve an equation to solve each problem. Trey went to the batting cages to practice hitting. He rented a helmet for $4 and paid $0.75 for each group of 20 pitches. If he spent a total of $7 at the batting cages, how many groups of pitches did he pay for?

please help me!!!!

4 groups of 20 pitches. you make 7=4 +0.75x and solve for x

OpenStudy (izzy18970):

so 0.75x + 4 = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep . $4 for the helmet plus 0.75x . x because your trying to figure out the number of groups, but you know how much it costs per "20 pitches" . Your total spending is $7 so that is your =7

OpenStudy (izzy18970):

is the answer for x 4??
