Question

The Schwartz family spent a total of $111.75 for Internet service for 3 months. Each

month they received $5.50 as a credit on the bill. Which equation and solution shows

the cost of their monthly Internet service before the credit?

3 (x + 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $31.75

3 (x - 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75

1/3 (x - 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75

1/3 (x + 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $31.75

Answer 1

3 (x - 5.50) = 111.75

Explanation:

They paid $111.75 for three months, that means they minus $5.50 every month which means a total of $16.5 for three months.

So you need use $111.75 plus the credit $16.5 for three months

111.75 + 16.5 = 128.25

Then use divide them by 3, (three months)

128.25 / 3 = 42.75

So they pay $42.75 per month before the credit.
