A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100
per week. Write an equation for the total cost over time.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
Step 1: Identify the variables• Variables represent values that can change.• There may be one, two or several in a word problem.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
W
Write letters for the variables that will help you
remember what they represent.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
W T
Write letters for the variables that will help you remember what they represent.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
Step 2: Identify the end result of the situation.• This may be a variable (if you don’t know the value) or a number (if the value is given).
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
W T
Put the end result after the equal sign.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
W = T
Put the end result after the equal sign.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
Step 3: Identify any constants.• A constant is a value that will stay the same no matter what the variables are. • Figure out if the constant is being added to or subtracted from the total.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
W + 75 = T
Add or subtract the constant(s).
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
Step 4: Identify the rate(s) of change.
• The rate of change is how much the total will change each time the variable changes.• In a linear equation, the rate of change will remain steady.
A family daycare center charges a $75 enrollment fee and $100 per week. Write an
equation for the total cost over time.
100 * W + 75 = T
Multiply the rate of change by the variable(s).
