Question

A law firm offers a prepaid family plan that covers all of a family's legal services for as long as the family is enrolled

in the plan
. For this plan, a family pays a one-time enrollment fee of $10.00 plus $25.00 per month of enrollment in the
plan.
• For an additional monthly charge, any family member with a home-based business will also receive legal
services for that home business.
A family member who enrolled for both family and home-business legal services had a total cost of $484.00 for one
year. What was the additional monthly charge for legal services for the home business?

Answer 1

The extra monthly charge for the family would be $14.50

Explanation:

let x equal the additional monthly charge for legal services

`10 + (25 + x)12 = 484 \\ 10 + 300 + 12x = 484 \\ 310 + 12x = 484 \\ 12x = 174 \\ x = 14.50`
