Question

Kyle types college reports for $1.70 per page. He also charges $6 to cover the cost of supplies. How many pages did he write if he charged $40.00? Write and solve an equation.

Answer 1

$1.70p + $6 = $40.00

Explanation:

$1.70p + $6 - $6 = $40.00 - $6

$1.70p = $34.00

$1.70p ÷ 1.70 = $34.00 ÷ 1.70

p = 20

He wrote 20 pages.
