Question

2.) Ryan joined a holiday coffee club that charged him a one-time fee of $15 for a coffee mug, plus $2 every time he filled his mug throughout the holiday season. If he spent a total of $43 over the season, how many mugs of coffee did he buy? * A. m = 29

B. m = 14
C. m = 3
D. m = 56 ​

Answer 1

The answer is B) 14

Explanation:

He spent a total amount of $43. A coffee mug costs $15. $43-15= 28. Each time the mug is filled, it costs $2.

28 divided by 2 is 14

Answer 2

B.) m=14

Explanation:

you would have to make the equation 15+2x=43. After doing so you would have to subtract both sides do the equation to end up with 2x=28. The last step is to divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get x=14.
