An SAT tutoring service charges a $500 fee for two sessions, plus $50 for each additional session. Emily doesn't want to spend more than $700 on tutoring. What is the maximum number of additional sessions (beyond the first two) that Emily can book for her tutoring sessions?(1 point)

1 answer

Let the number of additional sessions be x.
The total cost of the tutoring sessions, including the first two sessions, is $500 + $50x.
We want this to be less than or equal to $700, so we have the inequality:
$500 + $50x ≤ $700
Subtracting $500 from both sides, we have:
$50x ≤ $200
Dividing both sides by $50, we have:
x ≤ 4
Therefore, Emily can book a maximum of 4 additional sessions. Answer: \boxed{4}.
