Question

The monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month

Answer 1

Given:

Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month  and $2 per visit.

Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for  the month.

To find:

The number of times he visit the pool.

Solution:

We have,

Monthly fee of pool = $8

Additional fee = $2 per visit

Let Hector visit x times.

Additional fee for x times = $2x

Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee

$34=8+2x$

$34-8=2x$

$26=2x$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\dfrac{26}{2}=x$

$13=x$

Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.
