A gymnastics school offered a special for enrollment where a new student could enroll for half the price after paying a $17.50 application fee. Twelve new students enrolled, and the school collected $750. Which equation can be used to find p, the regular price of enrollment?

The correct answer is 12 ( + 17.50) =750

Explanation:

In mathematics, an equation represents equality; this means mathematical expressions are placed to the sides of the equality sign and these have the same value. Moreover, if an equation is written based on a situation or description, the values should include the appropriate mathematical symbols (+, -, x, etc) depending on how each of the factors in the equation relates.

In the case presented, it is known the total collected was $750 and due to this, this value should be placed to one side of the symbol =. Moreover, this value was obtained as students paid 17.50 of the application fee plus half of the price. This can be written as (a half price or price divided 2) + 17.50 (application fee). Finally, these two values should be multiplied by 12 (number of students that paid). According to this, the equation is 12 ( + 17.50) =750.

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
