Algebra II word problem, writing and solving an equation!?

Question

luis and three friends went golfing. two of the friends rented clubs for $6 each. the total cost of the rented clubs and the green fees for each person was $76. what was the cost of the green fees for each person?

Answer 1

Let the cost of the green fees for each person is $ x, so they have paid $4x for green fees

Two of the friends have paid $6 each for rented clubs, so that is a total of $12 cost of the rented clubs.

So, 4x +12=76 (green fees + cost of rented clubs = total cost)

4x = 76 -12

4x = 64

x=64 /4

x=16

Hope this helps ;)

Answer 2

Total cost = cost of rentals + cost of green fees

Since only 2 of them rented clubs, their rental cost is 2*6=12.

All four of them had to pay green fees so let g represent the green fees, and your equation becomes:

76=12+4g

76-12=4g

64=4g

64/4 = g

so g= $16
