Jodie made a New Year's resolution to learn how to play the violin. She bought an Introduction to Violin class pack from the Noble Notes music shop, which covers the cost of 12 violin lessons. She also paid $25 to rent a violin. In all, Jodie paid $385. How much does each violin lesson cost?

Answer 1

The cost of renting the violin is $25.
Let V be the cost of each violin lesson.
The cost of the violin lessons is 12V.
The total cost of the lessons and the violin rental is 385.
Thus, 25+12V=385.
Thus, 12V=385-25=360.
Thus, V=360/12=$<<360/12=30>>30. Answer: \boxed{30}.
