Answer:
300 programs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let’s work with cents to make this easier. We convert the $12 to cents, making 1200 cents
Let the number of copies Alden printed be x. His total printing cost would be x * 54 = 54x cents.
He sold at 75 cents each and still had left 100 copies. This means his total sale would be (x - 100)75
He lost $12 on the venture. This means his cost price minus his selling price is $12 since it’s a loss.
Computing this:
54x - 75(x - 100) = 1200
54x - 75x + 7500 = 1200
-21x = 1200 - 7500
-21x = -6,300
x = 6300/21 = 300 programs
