Question

The total cost to play paintball can be represented by the expression (48x+54). If Rocco and five friends split the cost equally, what is the cost for each person

Answer 1

8x + 9

Explanation:

The total number of people splitting the cost equally = Rocco and five friends = 6 people

The total cost to play paintball can be represented by the expression (48x+54)

The cost for each person is calculated as: The total cost to play paintball/ Total number of people

= (48x+54)/6

= 48x/6 + 54/6

= 8x + 9

Therefore, the cost for each person is

8x + 9
