At local community college, it costs $150 to enroll in a morning section of an algebra course. Suppose that the variable n stands for the number of students who enroll. Then 150n stands for the total amount of money collected for this course. How much is collected if 34 students enroll? 99 students? 2801 students?
150 * 34 = ?
150 * 99 = ?
150 * 2801 = ?
32,650
51150
11000
To find out how much money is collected for the algebra course when a certain number of students enroll, you need to multiply the number of students by the enrollment cost. In this case, the enrollment cost is $150.
To calculate the amount collected when 34 students enroll:
Amount collected = Number of students × Enrollment cost
Amount collected = 34 × $150
Amount collected = $5,100
Therefore, if 34 students enroll, the total amount collected for the course is $5,100.
To calculate the amount collected when 99 students enroll:
Amount collected = Number of students × Enrollment cost
Amount collected = 99 × $150
Amount collected = $14,850
Therefore, if 99 students enroll, the total amount collected for the course is $14,850.
To calculate the amount collected when 2801 students enroll:
Amount collected = Number of students × Enrollment cost
Amount collected = 2801 × $150
Amount collected = $420,150
Therefore, if 2801 students enroll, the total amount collected for the course is $420,150.
