Question

Bailey & Riley sell magazines.

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write Bailey's equation as:

29 + 1.50x

and Riley's equation as:

20 + 2x

Where

x is the number of magazines sold

Since Riley sold 12, her total pay for that day would be:

20 + 2x

20 + 2(12)

20 + 24

$44

Now, how many magazines Bailey need to sell? We equate Bailey's equation to 44 and find x:

29 + 1.5x = 44

1.5x = 44 - 29

1.5x = 15

x = 15/1.5

x = 10

hence, Bailey need to sell 10 magazines to make same money as Riley
