Question

Make up a word problem or scenario that uses the equation 7p+10=24. Make sure to elaborate as much as possible.

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is $7p+10=24$.

To find:

The scenario that uses the given equation.

Solution:

If p is the price of a good. Initial supply of goods at price 0 is 10 and supply increasing by 7 units if the price increased by 1 unit, then at what price the supply will be 24 units.

According to this scenario,

Total supply = 10+7p

Equate total supply with 24, to find the price at which the supply will be 24 units.

$7p+10=24$

Therefore, the required scenario is "If p is the price of a good. Initial supply of goods at price 0 is 10 and supply increasing by 7 units if the price increased by 1 unit, then at what price the supply will be 24 units."
