Answer 1

Answer:

$A=5m$

Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent number of magazine sold and A represent amount of money earned.

We have been given that Grant earns $5 for each magazine he sells. So amount earned from m magazines would be 5 times m that is $5m$ dollars.

Now, we will equate total amount earned by Grant with A as:

$A=5m$

Therefore, our required equation would be $A=5m$.

To find the amount earned by Grant by selling 12 magazines, we will substitute $m=12$ in our equation as:

$A=5(12)$

$A=60$

Therefore, Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.
