Question

A person can pay $8 for a membership to the science museum and then go to the museum

for just $1 per visit. What is the maximum number of visits a member of the science
museum can make for a total cost of $45?

Answer 1

The maximum number of visits for a member of science museum is 36.

Explanation:

Given,

Membership fee = $8

Per visit fee = $1

Total cost = $44

Let,

x be the number of visits

y be the total cost

Total cost = per visit fee*number of visits + membership fee

y = x+8

The maximum number of visits for a member of science museum is 36.

Keywords: variable, addition

Answer 2

x = 37

37 visits

y = 1x + 8

(45) = x + 8

45 - 8 = x

37 = x
