Question

18. GOLF Luis and three friends went golfing. Two of the friends rented clubs for $6 each. The total cost of the rented

clubs and the green fees for each person was $76. What was the cost of the green fees for each person? Define a
variable, write an equation, and solve the problem.

Answer 1

The cost of the green fees for each person was $16

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of the green fees for each person

we know that

The total cost of the green fees plus the green fees for each person must be equal to $76

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

`76=4x+2(6)`

Solve for x

Subtract 12 both sides

`76-12=4x+12-12`

`64=4x`

`16=x`

Rewrite

`x=16`

therefore

The cost of the green fees for each person was $16
