b. Carly spent $500 one year. How many aerobics classes did she take?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 5x + 265       B. 47 classes

Step-by-step explanation:

B. 47 classes

First, subtract the membership fee.

500 - 265 = 235

Next, divide 235 by the cost of each class.

235 / 5 = 47

Therefore, Carly took 47 classes.
