Answer:

<h3>C. 800</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation used to calculate the amount of profit, p, made from selling n candy bars expressed as  p = 1.50n – 500

To find the number of candies sold for $700, we are going to substitute p = $700 into the given expression and find n as shown;

700 =  1.50n - 500

Add 500 to both sides

700+500 = 1.50n-500+500

1200 = 1.50n

Divide both sides by 1.50

1200/1.50 = 1.50n/1.50

800 = n

Rearrange

n = 800

Hence 800 candy bars must be sold to make $700 profit

Use the are formula for a rectangle which is Length times Width to find the amount of square feet of carpeting.(16 times 14=224ft^2) Then you need multiply 224 by 12 because you have 224 square feet at $12 per square foot. So in the end it will cost $2688 to get the new carpet.

Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

60+10x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

4+\displaystyle \frac{2}{3} x=\frac{2}{5}

To get rid of the fraction \displaystyle \frac{2}{3}, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (the denominator):

3(4+\displaystyle \frac{2}{3} x)=3(\frac{2}{5})\\\\3*4+\frac{3*2}{3}x =\frac{3*2}{5} \\\\12+2x =\frac{6}{5}

To get rid of the fraction \displaystyle \frac{6}{5}, multiply both sides of the equation by 5 (the denominator):

\displaystyle 5(12+2x) =5(\frac{6}{5})\\\\5*12+5*2x=\frac{5*6}{5} \\\\60+10x=6

I hope this helps!
