Question

Joe works at YummyBurger. He earns a salary of $50 a day plus $0.05 for every super-sized value meal he sells. Nate works at SuperGoodBurger. He earns a salary of $20 a day plus $0.15 for every super-sized value meal he sells. After how many super-sized value meals will the boys have earned the same amount of money?

Answer 1

Answer:

300 burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up an equation like this: 50+0.05x=20+0.15x

Then, subtract 0.05x from both sides: 50=20+0.10x

Subtract 20 from both sides: 30=0.10x

Divide by .10 on both sides: 300=x

X represents how many burgers must be sold for the boys to have earned the same amount of money, and that is 300 burgers.

Answer 2

They will have sold 300 super sized value meals to earn the same amount of money
