Answer 2

Answer:

290 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the starting cost is $500. Suppose the commercial is aired x times. That means the cost will be a total of 50x.

Adding that to 500, we get a total of 50x + 500.

The company's budget is only $15,000, so we set this equal to 50x + 500 to find x:

50x + 500 = 15,000

50x = 14,500

x = 290

The answer is 290 days.
