Complete question
18. GOLF Luis and three friends went golfing. Two of the friends rented clubs for $6 each. The total cost of the rented
clubs and the green fees for each person was $76. What was the cost of the green fees for each person? Define a
variable, write an equation, and solve the problem.
The variable defined is "y", the equation is 4y + 2(6) = 76 and the value of the unknown variable is 16
Let the cost of green fees per person be y
If Luis and three friends went golfing, this means that 4 people went golfing. The total cost of green fees for all of them will be $4y
If two of the friends rented clubs for $6 each, total amount spent will be $2(6)
The equation that models the statement will then be expressed as;
[tex]4y + 2(6) = 76\\[/tex]
Solve for y
[tex]4y + 2(6) = 76\\4y+12 = 76\\4y = 76 - 12\\4y = 64\\y =\frac{64}{4}\\y = 16[/tex]
The variable defined is "y", the equation is 4y + 2(6) = 76 and the value of the unknown variable is 16.
