Answer 1

The first one, 14 weeks of dance classes.

Explanation:

She paid $753.95 as a total for all of the classes, not just one week. She paid her registration free, which you subtract from 753.95 to get 630.00. She pays 45 per week, so you divide 630 by 45 to get the amount of weeks she attended dance classes, or 14 weeks.
