Question

Tony ran laps around a track to raise money for a hospital. Tony raised $15 plus $1.50 per lap that he ran. He raised a total of $255.00. Let x represent the number of laps tony ran. What expression completes the equation to determine the total number of laps tony ran? How many laps did tony run?

____?____ = 255
__?____ laps

Answer 1

I believe the answer for this question would $be:

$15+$1.50 = $16.50

$25 / $16.50 = 15.45

I believe that he ran 15 - 15.5 laps.
