Question

Roller king charges $2.75 plus $15 per person. Maria has $96. How many people can he pay for

Answer 1

Just think, so Roller charges for 2.75 PLUS 15 dollar per person; that means, the values will add. Maria has 96 dollars, that is the answer.
Then write the equation like this: 2.75+15*x (x means a number of people) = 96
You add 2.75+15 which are 17.75 and then divide 96/17.75 to find x (or amount of people) and it gives you 5.408, you can round it to 5 people. I hope you understand :)

Answer 2

you would do 2.75+15 then divide 96 by 17.75 and get 5.4 but she could only pay for 5 people because she cant pay for a fourth of a person. hope that helped! have a good day! :D
