Question

Kathy is a repair technician for a phone company. each week, she receives a batch of phones that need repairs. the number of phones that she has left to fix at the end of each day can be estimated with the equation p=108−23d, where ppp is the number of phones left and ddd is the number of days she has worked that week. what is the meaning of the value 108108108 in this equation?

Answer 1

We have equation:
$p=108-23d$

p = number of phones left to repair
108 = initial amount at the start of week
23 = number of phones repaired each day
d = number of days she worked that week
