Answer 2

To find the maximum number of additional sessions Emily can book, we need to determine how much of her budget is spent on the first two sessions and how much she has left to spend on additional sessions.

Each session costs $500 for the first two sessions, so the total cost of the first two sessions is $500 + $500 = $<<500+500=1000>>1000.

Emily wants to spend a maximum of $700 on tutoring sessions, so she has a remaining budget of $700 - $1000 = $<<700-1000=-300>>-300.

Since Emily's remaining budget is negative, she does not have any additional money to spend on extra sessions. Therefore, the maximum number of additional sessions Emily can book is 0.

Answer 3

The correct answer is 4.
