Algebra 11 word problem help?

I just need help setting up the equation, i can get it from there:

you are taking flying lessons to get a private polots license. the cost of the intro lesson is 5/8 the cost of each additional lesson, which is $80. you have a total of $375 to spend on the lessons. how many can you afford? how much money will you have left?

Update:

ha. it's supposed to be aglebra 2, i thought the ones would look more like roman numerals. :)

  • The first intro lesson cost :

    (5/8)*$80=400/$80=$50

    you have a total of $375 to spend -The first intro lesson $50=$325

    You can afford

    325/80=4+5/80 ~4 lessons that cost you $320

    You have left with =

    $375-$50-$320=$5

  • the first lesson is 5/8 $80

    $50

    375-50=80x

    325=80x

    4.0625

    4 lessons

    unless you start a lesson and the teacher makes you get out at .0625 of the lesson

    LOL
