Answer:
15 days
Explanation:
The cost for boarding is $18 each day. The cost for play-time is $6.75 each day. So, the charges for both add up to ...
$18 +6.75 = $24.75
each day.
The manners lesson is a flat fee added to the daily boarding charges, so for d days, the total bill is ...
$24.75·d +45.99 = 417.24 . . . . . equation relating days to cost
We solve this 2-step equation by first subtracting the constant on the left.
$24.75·d = $371.25
Then we divide by the coefficient of the variable:
d = $371.25/$24.75
d = 15
