Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Donna teaches dance in groups of five students. She rents a hall for the dance classes at $450 per month. She charges $40 per hour per student. Donna teaches four groups of students, and her net earnings per month are $4,350.

Part A: If each student learns dance for the same number of hours, write an equation that can be used to calculate the number of hours each student learns dance in a month.

Part B: How many hours did each student learn dance each month? Show your work and justify each step.

Answer 1

Net Income: $4, 350
Total Income: $4, 900

Five Students at $40/hour.
$4,900/5 = 980

980/40 = 24.5 hours per month

Answer 2

The net income is after she paid the rent. So you have to add the $450 back to the 4350 to see how much she made during the month in total

Answer 3

Oh. but what would the equation look like?

Answer 4

Let y = total cost
Let x = number of hours

4350 = 40x + 450 -> hours for 5 students

Answer 5

so 4900 = 40x/5

Answer 6

is a good equation for one student
