A florist shop represents its first month’s sales with the equation y = 168 x + 8, where x represents the number of days that th
e shop is open and y represents the sales in dollars. The owner of the shop would like to calculate the number of days it took to reach $3,200 in sales. Which would be used to solve the problem?
$3200 is the total sales in dollars, so we're going to plug that in for y (it says in the equation that y represents the total sales in dollars). And the rest of the equation stays the same.
