    2 because 450x2=900 add 45 so 945$ with change remaining

    So the correct answer would be 2

    Let x = the number of courses

    450x = the cost of the courses

    Total cost of tuition = 45 + 450x

    Tuition < or equal to 1000

    45 + 450x < 1000

    450x < 955

    x < 2.1...

    x = 2

    The greatest number of courses she can register for is 2.

    $1000 - $45 = $955

    $955 / $450 = 2.1222222222. The greatest number of courses she can apply for is 2.

    Two. 450 twice 900 plus 45 comes to 945$

    two courses

    2($450+$45) = $990

    990<1000

    use the equations y=450x+45.

    if max is 1000, then 1000=450x+45.

    solving for x, you get 2.something, which you round down to 2.
