To get how many customers Sam has, write an equation that will relate to the gross profit. Let n be the customers. Since for 52 weeks, Sam charges $25 per week per person, multiply n by the number of weeks and the charge. The equation is written as $88,400 = 52 weeks x $25 per week x n persons. Divide $88,400 by the product of 52 weeks and the $25 charge. The answer will be 68. The annual operating expense $48,000 is just there to make confusion.
The answer is A because it has or in the sentence
Let that certain number be 'n'
50% (n) = 39
50% ⇒ 0.5
0.5 (n) = 39
Divide both sides by 0.5
0.5n = 39
/0.5 /0.5
n = 78.
So that certain number is actually <em><u>78! :)</u></em>
CROSS CHECK:
50% of 78
0.5 × 78
= 39
Hope this helps! :)
Option C: 6 is the value of 
Explanation:
The given expression is 
We need to determine the value of 
To find the value of
, let us substitute
in the given expression.
Thus, substituting
in the expression, we have,

Adding the terms, we get,

Since, we know the absolute rule that
and the simplified expression is of the form
, let us apply the absolute rule in the simplified expression.
Thus, we have,

Thus, the value of
is 6.
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
