miranda's financial aid stipulates that her tuition not exceed $1200 if her college charges a $55 registration fee plus $425 per course what is the greatest number of courses for which miranda can register.
number of courses ---- x
solve
425x + 55 < 1200
Don't you think you should be able to do this in your head?
3 courses would already be over 1200, right?

To find the maximum number of courses for which Miranda can register while still keeping her tuition below or equal to $1200, we can set up an equation.
Let's say the number of courses Miranda can register for is represented by 'x'.
The tuition equation can be written as follows:
Tuition = Registration Fee + (Cost per Course * Number of Courses)
Since the registration fee is $55 and the cost per course is $425, we can write the equation as:
1200 ≤ 55 + 425x
Now, we can solve for 'x' to determine the maximum number of courses.
Subtracting 55 from both sides:
1200 - 55 ≤ 55 - 55 + 425x
1145 ≤ 425x
Dividing both sides by 425:
1145/425 ≤ 425x/425
2.69 ≤ x
The maximum number of courses Miranda can register for while keeping her tuition below or equal to $1200 is 2 courses. Since the number of courses must be a whole number, Miranda can only register for a maximum of 2 courses.
