Question

Emma goes miniature golfing. She pays $7.50 for an admission ticket and $6.25 for each round she golfs. The total amount Emma pays for admission and the number of rounds she golfs is $26.25. Which equation can be used to determine the number of rounds, x, that Emma golfs?

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to determine the number of rounds that Emma golfs is:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

Explanation:

From the information given, the total amount Emma pays to go miniature golfing is equal to the price of the admission ticket plus the result of multiplying the price per round of golf for the number of rounds and according to this, the equation would be:

c=7.50+6.25x, where:

c is the total cost for Emma to go miniature golfing

x is the number of rounds

Now, you can solve for x to determine the equation that can be used to find the number of rounds that Emma golfs:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

You can replace c with 26.25:

x=(26.25-7.50)/6.25

x=18.75/6.25

x=3
