A painter charges 15 per hour and a 10 fee for supplies. If the total cost was $85, how many hours did the painter work?

A tutor charges 25 per hour and a 10 fee for materials. If you paid a total of $110, how many hours did the tutor work?

Tommy and his friends are planning a trip to the Mega Vault trampoline park. The employee Tommy spoke to on the phone said the total cost for all 5 of them would be $85. This includes a $3 fee added to each entrance ticket to cover the cost of a pair of grip socks. Which equation can you use to find c, the cost of an entrance ticket?

• 3(c + 5) = 85

• 5(c + 3) = 85

• 3c + 5 = 85

• 5c + 3 = 85

At Frameworks Hardware Store's annual start-of-summer sale, every drill set in the shop gets marked down. Arianna purchased 2 drill sets during the sale: one for herself and one to give her grandpa on Father's Day. Each drill set cost $25 less than its full price. She paid a total of $86. Which equations can you use to find f, the cost of each drill set at full price?

• 25(f - 2) = 86

• 25f - 2 = 86

• 2(f - 25) = 86

• 2f - 25 = 86

Kamal's family is leaving for Merry Mountain Resort once his parents get home from work on Friday. Their house is 627 miles from the resort. They plan to stop and spend the night at a hotel after 4 hours of driving, then complete the rest of the trip on the second day. Their average speed is 60 miles per hour. Which equations can you use to find how long, x, they will drive on the second day?

• 60(x + 4) = 627

• 60x + 4 = 627

• 4(x + 60) = 627

• 4x + 60 = 627

Winston and his friends are heading to the Yeti Trails snow park. They plan to purchase the Yeti group package, which costs $54 for 6 people. That's $3 less per person than the normal cost for an individual. Which equations can you use to find the normal cost, x, for an individual?

• 3(x - 6) = 54

• 3x - 6 = 54

• 6(x - 3) = 54

• 6x - 3 = 54

Patrick and his friends are heading to Zapper's Laser Tag. They plan to purchase the Zapper's group package, which will be $120 for 10 people. That's $5 less per person than the normal cost for a single player. Which equations can you use to find the normal cost, s, for a single player?

• 5(s - 10) = 120

• 5s - 10 = 120

• 10(s - 5) = 120

• 10s - 5 = 120

A cell phone plan costs 30 per month with a one-time activation fee of 25. If you paid a total of $115, how many months did you pay for?
