A park charges $13 for one round of miniature golf and a reduced fee for each additional round played. If Tom paid $43 for 6 rounds of miniature golf, what is the reduced fee for each additional round played? The reduced fee for each additional round played is $____

Respuesta :

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

the fixed cost = $13

the variable cost is unknown. It depends on the rounds played. according to the question the additional rounds played is 5 (6 - 1) .Represent the variable cost with x

the next equation can be formed using variables from the question :

$43 = $13 + 5x

collect like terms

$43 - $13 = 5x

$30 = 5x

divide both sides of the equation by 5

x = $6
