Question

Devon pays $19.95 for her roller skates. After she pays $6.95 for each visit to the roller rink. What is the greatest number of visits she can afford if the total amount she spends cannot be more than $82.50

Answer 1

Answer: 9 visits

Explanation:

Let x = number of visits to the rink

19.95 + 6.95x ≤ 82.5

6.95x ≤ 82.50 - 19.95

6.95x ≤ 62.55

x ≤ 62.55/6.95

x≤ 9
