The 9 officers of the Student Council are going on a trip to an amusement park. Each student must pay an entrance fee plus $5 for meals.
The total cost of the trip is $225.
Solve the equation 9(e+5) = 225 to find the cost e of the entrance fee for each student.
:
9(e + 5) = 225
distribute the 9
9e + 45 = 225
subtract 45 from both sides
9e = 225 - 45
9e = 180
e = 180/9
e = $20 is the entrance fee
