She enrolled in the dance classes for 20 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

* Margo paid $550.00 for dance classes

* She paid a $50.00 registration fee

* She paid $25.00 for each week she was enrolled in the classes

* We need to find the number of weeks w she enrolled in the

dance classes

Lets write an equation of these information and solve it

∵ The registration fee = $50

∵ The cost of of each week = $25

∵ The number of weeks = w

She will pay $50 plus $25 times the number of the weeks

∴ She paid in the dance classes = 50 + 25 w

∵ She paid $550 for the dance classes

∴ 50 + 25 w = 550

The equation is 50 + 25 w = 550

Lets solve the equation

∵ 50 + 25 w = 550

Subtract 50 from both sides

∴ 25 w = 500

Divide both sides by 25

∴ w = 20

∵ w represents the number of the weeks

∵ w = 20 weeks

She enrolled in the dance classes for 20 weeks
