Question

* PLEASE ANSWER ASAP* Matthew just got out of the trampoline center. The total cost of his jump session was $43.25. He had to pay $7 to enter and $1.25 for every minute he was bouncing. Write an equation to solve how long Matthew was bouncing.

Answer 1

$43.25 - $7.00 = $36.25
$36.25 divided by $1.25 = 29.
Matthew jumped for 29 minutes.

Answer 2

$7+$1.25m=$43.25
Subtract $7 on both sides
$1.25m=$36.25
Divide $1.25 on both sides
m=29
Matthew was bouncing for 29 minutes

I didn't know if you had to solve it so I did it just in case; hope this helps.
