Respuesta :

Answer:

15 classes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of class

y ----> the total amount in charges

we know that

The total charge is equal to the number of class multiplied by the additional fee plus the membership fee (only members)

so

Members

[tex]y=3x+75[/tex] -----> equation A

Non Members

[tex]y=8x[/tex] -----> equation B

Equate equation A and equation B

[tex]8x=3x+75[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]8x-3x=75[/tex]

[tex]5x=75[/tex]

[tex]x=15[/tex]
