Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.
We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.
__
The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...
(126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6
Then Wendy must sell an additional ...
(1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags
to increase her earnings to $126.
No because
48 times 53=2544
his estimate is way off- it is off by (2544-250)= 2294
Answer: Angie's profit equation is 25x−200=p
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of lawns that Angie mows in her neighborhood.
Let p represent the profit made by mowing x lawns.
Profit = Revenue - cost
She charges $25 per lawn. This means that the amount charged for x lawns = 25×x = 25x
So her revenue is 25x
She buys a new mower for $200. Thus, the cost is $200. Therefore, Angie's profit,p is expressed as
p = 25x - 200
You could say that you spent (purchased) 85% of the money that you had.
You spent a total of $85.
If you create the fraction 85/100, that is the same as saying you spent 85% of the money.
