Question

A golf course charges $17 for a package including the full 18-hole course. The course also sells buckets of golf balls for $22 each. The golf course would like to earn $619 by the end of the day.

 

Enter a linear equation that describes the problem.

An equation for the amount of money earned by the golf course is __________= $619, where c is the number of course packages purchased, and b is the number of buckets of balls purchased.

Answer 1

b = number of buckets of balls

c = number of course packages

The total amount purchased is $619.

The linear equation is 17c + 22b = 619

Answer 2

The variables to be used are given as b = buckets of balls and c = course package. The number of course packages sold multiplied by the price of it ($17 for each) plus the number of buckets of balls sold multiplied by the price of each bucket ($22 for each) will be the total amount of money earned that day.

total earned = $17c + $22b

Set this equation equal to $619 so you can find how many buckets and packages you need to sell. You would need more information to solve for a single answer for c and b, but you could look for potential combinations that would work.

$619 = $17c + $22b
