Answer 1

SOLUTION:

$\begin{gathered} Total\text{ credit hours= 19 hours} \\ \text{Westside credit hours=w} \\ \text{Class f}ee\text{ at W}estside\text{ per hour = \ 98} \\ \text{Total class f}ee\text{ at Westside = \ 98w} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{Total Class f}ee\text{ at Pinewood per hour= \ 115} \\ Pine\text{wood credit hours= 19-w} \\ \text{Total }class\text{ f}ee\text{ at Pinewood = \ 115(19-w)} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \text{Total Amount Paid = \ 98w+\ 115(19-w)} \\ \end{gathered}$

Hence, the expression for the combined total dollar amount she paid for her class fees is $98w + $115(19-w)
