Question

Jeanie has $500 to spend on dance lessons. There is a $50 one-time registration fee, and the lessons cost $35 each. How many lessons can Jeanie take?

Answer 1

Jeanie can take 12 lessons.

500-50=450
450/35=12.86

Answer 2

Answer: There are approximately 13 lessons that Jeanie take.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Registration fees = $50

Cost of each lesson = $35

Total amount he spend = $500

Let number of lessons be 'x'.

So, our equation becomes,

`50+35x=500\\\\35x=500-50\\\\35x=450\\\\x=(450)/(35)\\\\x=12.85\\\\x\approx 13`

Hence, there are approximately 13 lessons that Jeanie take.
