Question

Dan takes an airplane to visit his parents. He pays the airline a total of $450. The cost of the ticket is $315. The airline also charges $15for every pound that the luggage goes over the 50 pound is Dan's luggage over the 50 pound limit?

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the total amount Dan paid and subtract the part of the payment that is for the ticket.

450-315=135

Assuming that all of that $135 was for luggage fees and each pound over the limit costs $15, then the question is, how many times did Dan pay $15 until he'd paid the full $135 luggage fee.

So divide $135 by $15.

135/15=9

So his luggage weighted 59 pounds, which is 9 pounds over the limit.
