Question

Kevin bought a membership to a golf club. He pays $250 per month and $18 every time he plays a round of golf. Write an equation to represent C, the cost of m months of membership during which Kevin plays golf g times.

Answer 1

Hi there!

Let's solve this problem step by step!

The cost of 1 round of golf is $18
and therefore the total cost for all of the tickets is $18 × 
the amount of golf plays, mathematically $18 × g, hence 18g

The membership cost of 1 month is $250
and therefore the total cost for all of the tickets is $250 × 
the amount of months, mathematically $250 × m, hence 250m.

Now we can set up the equation. The only thing we need to do is adding up the individual functions.

Answer:
C = 250m + 18g
