  1. The cost of a parking permit consists of a one-time administration fee plus a monthly fee. A permit purchased for 12 months costs $660. A permit purchased for 15 months costs $810.

    What is the administration fee?

    1. So you write 2 equations

      12M + A = 660
      15M + A = 810

      Then you multiply the top in order to eliminate A

      (12M+A=660) -1

      -12M-A= -660
      15M + A = 810

      3M=150

      M=150/3
      Monthly Fee = $50

      you plug it in the equation

      12(50) + A=660
      600 + A = 660
      A= 660 - 600
      A (Administration Fee) = $60
