Jenna is applying to The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. Jenna wants to achieve a minimum score on the SAT Reasoning Assessment to be a competitive applicant.
Jenna has earned a score of 980 on the SAT and has signed up for a test prep class to help her improve her score. The test prep company claims that each class she attends increases her score by 10 points.
Assuming the company's claim is correct,
write an expression to represent Jenna's SAT score after she attends any given number of classes.
Let the number of classes Jenna attends be represented by 'c'.
Since each class increases her score by 10 points, her score after attending 'c' classes would be:
980 + 10c
To represent Jenna's SAT score after attending any given number of classes, we can use the following expression:
Score after x classes = 980 + (10 * x)
In this expression, "x" represents the number of classes Jenna attends, and "980" represents her initial SAT score. The term "(10 * x)" represents the score increase for each class attended, assuming the company's claim is correct.
