Question

The Piersons have paid $75 to enroll their son Fred at preschool. They will pay $152 a month in fees. Write and solve an equation to work out how many months it will take for the total bill to reach $683.​

Answer 1

Answer: 4 months

Explanation:

$75 + $152X = 683

That's the equation you need to set up, with X being the number of months.

To solve, first subtract 75 from both sides.

$152x = 608

Then, divide each side by 152

X = 4

The answer is 4 months.
