How To Solve Step by Step

Question

Golf course charges 52 for round using their set of clubs and 44 if you have your own. If you buy a set for 270 how many rounds must you play to recover cost of clubs?

Answer 1

52x is the number of rounds times the cost per round to rent.

44x is the number of rounds times the cost to play if you own your clubs

52x = 42x + 270

10x = 270

x = 27 times

Check:

27 x 52 = 1404

(42 x 27) + 270 = 1134 + 270 = 1404
