A cable TV company charges $24.95 per month for basic service and $6.95 per month for each premium channel. Ryans monthly bill is $45.80. How many premium channels does he receive
What would be the algebra expression?
45.80 = 24.95 + 6.95 x
(45.80 - 24.95) / 6.95 = x
If Ryan's bill is a total of 45.80-24.95 =20.85 we need to find out how many premium channels he pays for extra every month. 20.85/6.95= 3 channels extra every month in addition to regular service.
45
To find out how many premium channels Ryan receives, we need to set up an algebraic expression. Let's denote the number of premium channels as 'x'.
The cost of basic service is $24.95, and the cost for each premium channel is $6.95. So, the total cost of the premium channels would be $6.95 multiplied by 'x'.
Therefore, the algebraic expression for Ryan's total monthly bill, including the basic service and premium channels, can be written as:
Total Bill = Basic Service + Premium Channels
Total Bill = $24.95 + ($6.95 * x)
In this case, we know that Ryan's monthly bill is $45.80. So, we can set up the equation:
$45.80 = $24.95 + ($6.95 * x)
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of 'x', which represents the number of premium channels Ryan receives.
