A student usually saves $15 a month. He would like to reach a goal of saving $204 in 12 months. The student writes the equation: 204=12(x+15) to represent this situation. Solve the equation for x. Write your answer as a sentence that describes what the variable x represents.

Acarpool service has 2,000 daily riders. a one-way ticket costs $5.00. the service estimates that for each $1.00 increase to the one-way fare, 100 passengers will find other means of transportation. let x represent the number of $1.00 increases in ticket price. choose the inequality to represent the values of x that would allow the carpool service to have revenue of at least $12,000. then, use the inequality to select all the correct statements. the maximum profit the company can make is $4,125.00. the maximum profit the company can make is $15,625.00. the price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $12.50. the price of a one-way ticket that will maximize revenue is $7.50.
