clubs and the green fees for each person was $76. What was the cost of the green fees for each person? Define a
variable, write an equation, and solve the problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of the green fees for each person was $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the cost of the green fees for each person

we know that

The total cost of the green fees plus the green fees for each person must be equal to $76

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$76=4x+2(6)$

Solve for x

Subtract 12 both sides

$76-12=4x+12-12$

$64=4x$

$16=x$

Rewrite

$x=16$

therefore

The cost of the green fees for each person was $16
