Question

A furniture rental store charges a down-payment of $100 and $72.50 per month for a table. Hilde paid $535 to rent the table. Solve 72.50n + 100 = 535 to find the number of months Hilde rented the table.

Answer 1

6 months

Explanation:

First, subtract 100 from both sides

72.50n + 100 = 535

72.50n = 435

Divide each side by 72.50

n = 6

So, Hilde rented the table for 6 months
