Jean has a ride metro card. It costs $2.50 to get on the tram plus $0.75 for each stop. If Jeans metro card allows her 8 rides and costs $44 how many stops can she make?

Answer: she can make 32 stops

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of stops that she can make.

Jean has a ride metro card. It costs $2.50 to get on the tram plus $0.75 for each stop.

If Jeans metro card allows her 8 rides and costs $44, it means that if she makes x stops, then

2.5 * 8 + 0.75 * x = 44

20 + 0.75x = 44

0.75x = 44 - 20 = 24

x = 24/075 = 32
