Question

If Kiri has 17 part-time members this month, how many full-time members does she need according to your equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

5050 = 225f + 125p

If p = 17 this month, then, f = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Kiri owns a coworking space that has two primary types of memberships, full time and part-time. In order to pay her bills each month (rent on the building, electricity, internet, and so on) she needs to make $5050. Full-time memberships (f) cost $225 per month, and part-time memberships (p) cost $125 per month.

If Kiri has 17 part-time members this month, how many full-time members does she need according to your equation?

Total cost = $5050

cost of full-time memberships = $225

number of full time members = f

cost of part-time memberships = $125

number of part-time members = p

Total cost = cost of full-time memberships * number of full time members + cost of part-time memberships * number of part-time members

5050 = 225f + 125p

If p = 17 this month,

5050 = 225f + 125p

5050 = 225f + 125(17)

5050 = 225f + 2,125

5050 - 2,125 = 225f

2,925 = 225f

f = 2,925/225

f = 13

number of full time members = f = 13

If p = 17 this month, then, f = 13
