help please. a local community college costs $550 to enroll in morning section of an algebra course. if the variable n stands for the number of students who enroll. then 550n stands for the total amount of money collected for this course. how much is collected if 34 students enroll, 72 student enroll, & 290 student?
$550 * 34 = ?
$550 * 72 = ?
$550 * 290 = ?
To find out how much money is collected when a certain number of students enroll in the morning section of an algebra course, we can multiply the number of students by the cost to enroll.
In this case, the enrollment cost is $550, and the variable "n" represents the number of students who enroll. So the equation 550n represents the total amount of money collected for the course when "n" students enroll.
To calculate the total amount collected for each scenario, simply substitute the given values of "n" into the equation:
1. When 34 students enroll:
Amount collected = 550 * 34 = $18,700
2. When 72 students enroll:
Amount collected = 550 * 72 = $39,600
3. When 290 students enroll:
Amount collected = 550 * 290 = $159,500
Therefore, the amount collected when 34 students enroll is $18,700, when 72 students enroll is $39,600, and when 290 students enroll is $159,500.
