Question

* Mr. Herring teaches a swimming class at the local activities center. There is a $15 membership fee for the

center and Mr. Herring's class costs $10 per hour.
Write an equation showing how many hours, h, you could participate in the
class with $50.

Answer 1

Answer: 10h + 15 = 50

Explanation:

Since h is per hour, and it costs $10 per hour, the cost per hour would be 10h, plus the one-time 15 dollar fee.

To find how many hours you can participate, you plug in 50 into the equation and solve it. h = 3.5, meaning you can participate for 3 hours.
