Question

Which equation can be used to solve the following situation? A tennis club charges a $50 membership fee and $15 per hour for using a court. If you have $100 to spend toward the tennis club, how many hours (h) can you play tennis? Write an equation or system of equations to solve the problem.(1 point) Responses 15+50h=100 15 plus 50 h is equal to 100 −15h+50=100 negative 15 h plus 50 is equal to 100 15h−50=100 15 h minus 50 is equal to 100 15h+50=100

Answer 1

To solve the situation described, we need to account for the membership fee and the cost per hour of using the court. The total cost consists of the $50 membership fee and the $15 per hour charge for playing tennis.

The equation to represent this situation is:

\[ 50 + 15h = 100 \]

Where:

• \(50\) is the membership fee,
• \(15h\) is the total cost for \(h\) hours of court use,
• \(100\) is the total amount of money you have to spend.

This equation correctly reflects the relationship and can be used to solve for \(h\). Therefore, the correct response is:

50 + 15h = 100
