Respuesta :

Answer:

its 25

Step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 125 and 5 you get 25

then if you divide 170 and you get 21.25 but you want to round it to 25

hope this helps plz let me have brainliest

The fee per race is $15, while the membership fee is $50

A linear equation is given by:

y = mx + b;

Where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let x represent the number of race and y represent the total money, b is the membership fee and m is the pay per race, hence:

One racer paid a total of $125 after 5 races, hence:

125 = 5m + b   (1)

A second racer paid a total of $170 after 8 races, hence:

170 = 8m + b      (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

m = 15, b = 50

Hence the fee per race is $15, while the membership fee is $50
