Melissa takes horseback riding lessons at Horse Palace Stables. Her lessons cost $65.50 each. Last month, Melissa's mom paid a total of $327.50 for horseback riding lessons. How many lessons did Melissa take?

Question

lessons

Answer 1

To find out how many lessons Melissa took, we can divide the total amount her mom paid by the cost of each lesson.

Given:

• Total cost for lessons = $327.50
• Cost per lesson = $65.50

We can calculate the number of lessons by using the formula:

\[ \text{Number of lessons} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per lesson}} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Number of lessons} = \frac{327.50}{65.50} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Number of lessons} = 5 \]

Therefore, Melissa took 5 lessons.
