Question

Fred takes classes at both seminole state and valencia community college. At seminole, class fees are $95 per credit hour and at valencia $118 per credit hour. Fred is taking a combined total of 12 credit hours at the two schools. Suppose that he is taking s credit hours at seminole. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he paid for his class fees.

Answer choices:
- total paid =95s
- total paid= 118s + 95
- total paid= 95s + 118
- total paid = 95(12-s) + 118
- total paid = 23s + 1416
- total paid = 195s + 1.416

Answer 1

The combined total dollar amount Fred paid for his class fees would be given by:

total paid = 95s + 118(12-s)

This expression takes into account that Fred took s credit hours at Seminole and 12-s credit hours at Valencia.
