Question:Be sure to clearly identify the variable (with a description of what it represents), show the initial equation, and explain your solution and final response. Must change to your own numbers.

  1. Examp.:
  2. Spring Cleaning!A carpet cleaning service charges a flat fee of $30.00 and a per room fee of $25.00. If my bill was $180 before taxes, how many rooms did I have cleaned?
  3. I am being asked to find the number of rooms that were cleaned.
  4. Letr= the number of rooms being cleaned.
  5. Ifris the number of rooms being cleaned, then $25.00rwould be the cost of cleaningrrooms.
  6. Flat fee + cost of cleaning r rooms = total bill
  7. $30 + $25r= $180, Now solve the equation, 30 + 25r= 180, r= 180 - 30, 25r=150, r= 6

Sinceris the number of rooms that were cleaned, you know that I had 6 rooms cleaned.
