b. How much did the friends pay in green fees?

To determine

To write: an equation to represent the total cost of the golf outing.

Answer to Problem 6STP

Equation $x+10+10=92$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Total cost of golf outing, including green fees is $92,

Total cart rental is $10.

Rent of clubs is $2\times 5=10$ ,

An equation for total cost of golf outing,

  $\text{admission}+\text{club}+\text{Cart}=\text{Total}$

Consider x is the rent for green fees (admission)

  $x+10+10=92$

This is the required equation.

To determine

To find: cost of friend pay in green fees.

Answer to Problem 6STP

The friends pay all together in green fees is $72.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Total cost of golf outing, including green fees is $92,

Total cart rental is $10.

Rent of clubs is $2\times 5=10$ ,

The value of friends pays all together in green fees,

  $\begin{array}{l}x+10+10=92\\ x+20=92\end{array}$

Subtract 20 on both the sides,

  $\begin{array}{l}x+20-20=92-20\\ x=72\end{array}$

Therefore the friends pay all together in green fees is $72.
