Answer:
D. 48
Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know the numbers of coupons sent to existing members and to potential members, but we know a relationship between the number.
They sent 5 times as many coupons to potential members as they did to existing members.
Let x = number of coupons sent to existing members.
Then 5x = number of coupons sent to potential members.
The total number of coupons sent was x + 5x = 6x
The total number of coupons sent was 288.
Therefore, 6x must equal 288 giving us an equation with a single variable.
6x = 288
x = 48
