Question

You wish to take flying lessons. The introductory course costs $125 per lesson and you want to take 12 lessons. Smith Flying Academy also charged $50 registration fee. You currently have $700 saved for your flying lesson. How much more money do you need to pay for the class in full?

Answer 1

First find the total amount you need to pay.

Since you need $125 for each lesson and you want to take twelve lessons, multiply.

125 * 12 = 1500

Then you need 50 dollars more.

1500 + 50 = 1550

That is the total amount you need to pay for the class.

You have 700 saved up so subtract that from the prices to find the answer.

1550 - 700 = 850.

You need 850 more dollars to pay for the class in full.

Answer 2

$850

Explanation:

Multiply the $125 per lesson by 12 and that's $1500. Now add the $50 fee to make it a total of $1550. Subtract $1550 by $700 and you're left with $850 that you still need to pay.
