Given:
Total amount Jose has = $75
Registration fee = $15
Additional fee = $6 for each class
To find:
Number of classes that Jose can afford.
Solution:
Let x be the number of classes that Jose can afford.
Additional fee for 1 class = $6
Additional fee for x classes = $6x
Total fee = Registration fee + Additional fee for x classes
[tex]75=15+6x[/tex]
[tex]75-15=6x[/tex]
[tex]60=6x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 6.
[tex]10=x[/tex]
Therefore, the required equation is [tex]75=15+6x[/tex] and the number of classes he can afford is 10.
