Mika’s gym allows her to bring 3 guests for free. After the first three, she must pay $7 per guest. How many guests, g, can she bring to the gym if she pays $42?

Answer:

9 guests

Explanation:

the first 3 guests are free and anyone after is 7 per guest

well if we divide 42/7 we get 6

and we add the 3 we get 9 guests.

This makes sense due to the fact that the first 3 guests are free and we are paying for everyone else after them. So it's 7 dollars a student therefore, 9 guests.
