The equation represents the total amount, in dollars, that Ms. Huynh spent on her hotel. 4(x + 15) = 640 How much money did the hotel room cost for one night, excluding the parking fee? A. $163.75 B. $145.00 C. $175.00 D. $156.25

Answer 1

B. $145.00

Explanation:

4(x+15)= 640

or, 4x+60=640

or, 4x = 640-60

or, 4x = 580

or, x = 580/4

x= 145
