please answerrrrrr

Answer 1

Answer:

$17$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students in pottery class be $x$

Price each student pays for the class = $\ 15$

Price each student pays for the material = $\ 27$

Total earning of pottery class = $\ 714$

We can write this in expression as-

$15x + 27x = 714$

Solving the expression we get$15x + 27x = 714\\42x = 714\\x = \frac{714}{42} \\x = 17$

There are total $17$ students in the class this month

Answer 2

If you add $15 + $27 because that's how much it costs for each student, you get $42. Then you divide $714 by $42, you get 17 and that's how many students are in the class this month.
