At Westside, class fees are $98 per credit hour, and at Pinewood,class fees are $115 per credit hour, Kaitlin is taking a combined total of 19 credit hours at the two schoolsSuppose that she is taking w credit hours at Westside Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount she paid for her class fees.B 믐total paid (in dollars)

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} Total\text{ credit hours= 19 hours} \\ \text{Westside credit hours=w} \\ \text{Class f}ee\text{ at W}estside\text{ per hour = \$98} \\ \text{Total class f}ee\text{ at Westside = \$98w} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Total Class f}ee\text{ at Pinewood per hour= \$115} \\ Pine\text{wood credit hours= 19-w} \\ \text{Total }class\text{ f}ee\text{ at Pinewood = \$115(19-w)} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Total Amount Paid = \$98w+\$115(19-w)} \\ \end{gathered}`

Hence, the expression for the combined total dollar amount she paid for her class fees is $98w + $115(19-w)
