Maci made $170 grooming dogs one day with her mobile dog grooming business. She charges $60 per appointment and earned $50 in tips. Write an equation to represent this situation.

170  = 60x + 50 (let x be number of appointments)

Step-by-step explanation:

because the total is 170, it goes behind the equal sign. $50 in tip is added to the amount of appointments so it goes on the other side of the 170. the $60 per appointment goes on the 50's side

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
