Question

A meseum calculates the rate for groups by charging $4 per person along with a one-time $8 fee. If the cost for a group is $60,how many people are in the group?

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 13 people in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to subtract the one-time fee from the cost

$60 - $8 = $52

Second step is to divide by the cost per person

⇒ $52/$4 = 13

Answer 2

Answer:

13 persons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Museum Collects a One Time fee of $8 and $4 per person in the group.

Let the number of persons in the group=x

The total Cost for a group= $(8+4x)

If the cost for a group is $60, we want to determine x.

$(8+4x)=$60

8+4x=60

4x=60-8

4x=52

Divide both sides by 4

x=13

There are 13 persons in the group.
