Question

Quincy paid $9.50 to join a photography club that allows him to print digital pictures for 0.20 each. So far he has paid $12.50 to the club. Write and solve an equation to work out how many pictures Quincy has paid for.​

Answer 1

• 15 pictures

Explanation:

Let the number of pictures is x.

The equation for a total is:

• 9.50 + 0.2x = 12.50

Solve for x to find the number of pictures:

• 0.2x = 12.50 - 9.50
• 0.2x = 3
• x = 3/0.2
• x = 15
