E total cost of Anja's trip to the dentist was $628.35. She paid a flat fee of $89.95 which included the checkup an

aning and then had 4 cavities filled, each of which cost the same amount. Which shows the correct equation and
ue of x, the cost of each cavity filling?
4x+89.95=628.35; X = $134.60
4(89.95) + X = 628.35
X = $268.55
4x+89.95=628.35; X= $179.58
A(89.95)+ x = 628.35
X = $538.40

Answer:

(a) 4x+89.95=628.35; x = $134.60

Explanation:

The total cost (628.35) is the cost per cavity (x) times the number of cavities (4), added to the flat fee (89.95). The equation for that is ...

4x +89.95 = 628.35

The solution to that is ...

x = (628.35 -89.95)/4 . . . . . subtract the constant, divide by 4

x = 134.60
