Question

Miranda’s financial aid stipulates that her tuition not exceed $1200. If her college charges a $90 registration fee for the term plus $475 per course. What is the greatest number of courses for which miranda can register

Answer 1

Answer: the greatest number of courses for which miranda can register is 2

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of courses for which Miranda can register.

If her college charges a $90 registration fee for the term plus $475 per course, it means that the total amount that the college charges for x courses would be

475x + 90

Miranda’s financial aid stipulates that her tuition not exceed $1200(it must be at most $1200). This means that

475x + 90 ≤ 1200

475x ≤ 1200 - 90

475x ≤ 1110

x ≤ 1110/475

x ≤ 2.34
