Question

A skating rink charges a group rate of $9 plus a fee to rent each pair of skates. A family rents 7 pairs of skates and pays a total of $30. Draw a tape diagram

Answer 1

X = 3

Explanation:

I can't really draw the diagram for you.

$9 is always charged so just add that to the end of your equation.

x is what they charge for skates and their are 7 skates so 7x

$30 is the total

7x + 9 = 30

subtract 9 from both sides

7x = 21

divide by 7 on both sides

x = 3
