Question

A company sell earbuds for $17 each. At the end of the week,they have sold $731 worth of earbuds.how many earbuds did they sell? Write and solve an equation to find the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

43 earbuds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of earbuds sold over the week

This implies that

1 earbud:$17

x earbud:$731

Writing an equation, we get

$\frac{1}{17} = \frac{x}{731}$

cross multiplying, we obtain

17x=731

Dividing through by 17,we get

x=43
