James’ college charges tuition based only on the number of credits a student takes. James paid $1218 to take 12 credits in the fall semester at a community college. How many credits did he take if he paid $1624 for the spring semester at the same college?
(pls answer i have no idea)

If the cost increases then the credits will increase. The question is asking that if he paid $1218 for 12 credits how many credits will he pay for $1624. Set up a proportional relationship and solve for the number of credits.

1218/ 12 = 1624/x Cross multiply

1218x = 19488

x = 16

This means he took 16 credits
