Question

A person can pay $ 27 for a membership to the history museum and then go to the museum for just $1 per visit. What is the maximum number of visits a member of the history museum can make for a total cost of $29?

Answer 1

2 visits

Explanation:

Step one:

cost for membership=$27

cost per visit= $1

let the number of visit be x

the total is expressed as

y=mx+c

total =x+27

Step two:

given a total of $29

the number of visits can be found as

29=x+27

29-27=x

x=2
