A gymnastics center charges a $60 registration fee and $15 per class. Olivia registers to take a class and pays a total of $210. Which equation can be used to determine how many classes Olivia signed up for?  

• 60 - 15x = 210 
• 15x - 60 = 210
• 15x + 60 = 210 
• 210 + 15x = 60

A computer printer can print 10 pages per minute. There were already 35 pages in the tray. The total pages printed was 115 pages. How many minutes has the printer been running?

• 35 + 10x = 115

• 35x + 10 = 155

• 155 = 10 + 35

• 155 + 10x = 35

Rayshawn and Robert are both saving money for their summer vacations. They began saving at the same time. Rayshawn started with $10.25 and adds $5.15 to his savings every month. Robert did not have a starting amount but adds $10.25 to his savings every month. Which equation could be used to determine how many months, m, it will take before Rayshawn and Robert both have saved the same amount of money?

• 5.15m + 10.25 = 10.25m
• 10.25m + 5.15 = 10.25m
• 10.25m + 10.25 = 5.15m
• 10.25m – 5.15 = 10.25m
