please answerrrrrr

Answer 1

If you add $15 + $27 because that's how much it costs for each student, you get $42. Then you divide $714 by $42, you get 17 and that's how many students are in the class this month.

Answer 2

`17`

Explanation:

Let the number of students in pottery class be
`x`

Price each student pays for the class =
`\$15`

Price each student pays for the material =
`\$27`

Total earning of pottery class =
`\$714`

We can write this in expression as-

`15x + 27x = 714`

Solving the expression we get
`15x + 27x = 714\\42x = 714\\x = (714)/(42) \\x = 17`

There are total
`17` students in the class this month
