Question

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.

Answer 1

yeah im stupid :p

Answer 2

Ok first you need to know a couple things, your going to calculate this PLUS the rent of the dance hall so

$4800---total per month

$40 a student

4800/40=120 hours for the total amount of students there are which is 20 because it says there are 4 groups of 5, 20 students<<

120/20=6 hours a student

if you multiply this all up, you will find that this is right because

6 hours times 20 students=120 total hours times $40 per hour=$4800

Answer 3
