Question

A dance academy charges $28 per class and a registration fee of $20. A student paid a total of $1000 to the dance academy. Construct and solve an equation to find the number of classes the student took.

Answer 1

Equation: 28x+20=1000

subtract 20 from both sides and your left with 28x=980

divide by 28 from both sides and your answer is x=35

so the student took 35 classes
