Question

The monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month

and $2 per visit. If Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for
the month, how many times did he visit the pool?

Answer 1

Given:

Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month and $2 per visit.

Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for the month.

To find:

The number of times he visit the pool.

Solution:

We have,

Monthly fee of pool = $8

Additional fee = $2 per visit

Let Hector visit x times.

Additional fee for x times = $2x

Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee

`34=8+2x`

`34-8=2x`

`26=2x`

Divide both sides by 2.

`(26)/(2)=x`

`13=x`

Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.
