Question

When John bought his new computer he purchased an online computer help service. The help service has a yearly fee of 25.50 and a 10.50 charge for each help session a person uses. If John can only spend 170 for the computer help this year what is the maximum number of help sessions he can use this year?

Answer 1

Subtracting the yearly fee from John's total computer help budget and dividing the remaining amount by the cost per help session determines that John can afford a maximum of 13 help sessions.

Step-by-step explanation:

John has a maximum budget of $170 for a computer help service with a yearly fee of $25.50 and a charge of $10.50 per help session. First, we must subtract the yearly fee from the total budget to see how much is left for the help sessions:

$170 - $25.50 = $144.50

Now, we will divide the remaining amount by the cost of each help session to determine the maximum number of sessions John can use:

$144.50 / $10.50 ≈ 13.76

Since John cannot attend a fraction of a session, he can attend a maximum of 13 help sessions this year within his budget.
