Answer:The maximum number of visits a member of the history museum can make for a total cost of $40 is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number if visits that visits the person makes to the museum.
Let y represent the cost of x visits
A person can pay $6 for a membership to the history museum and then go to the museum for just $2 per visit. It means that the total cost, y for x visits will be
y = 2x + 6
For a total cost of $40, y = 40. So
40 = 2x + 6
2x = 40 - 6
2x = 34
x = 34/2 = 17
The figure gets smaller. Think of scale factor of enlargement as a multiple of size. If the SF is 2, you double the size of the object. So if the SF is 1/2, then you halve the size of the object.
You divide 18.40 by 2.3 to find out how many dollars per hour. 18.40/2.3=8.
