Answer 1

Answer:

c. 34

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add all the given prices on each day.

= 42.80 + 64.20 + 74.90

= 181.90

2) Set up an equation since we do not know how many magazine subscriptions she sold, but we know how much money she made.

Let x = number of magazine subscriptions sold

5.35x = 181.90

x = $\frac{181.90}{5.35}$

x = 34
