Question

To get pictures taken at

Picture People, you must pay a
$25 sitting fee and $10 per
pose. Your family pays $145.
Write an equation to find the
number of poses purchased.
What is the equation and answer

Answer 1

12 poses

Explanation:

let n be the number of poses , then the cost for n poses is 10n

There is a sitting fee of $25 , so

25 + 10n = 145 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

10n = 120 ( divide both sides by 10 )

n = 12

Number of poses purchased is 12

Answer 2

10x + 25 = $145
10x = $120
x =10
The number of poses is 10
