Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved)
Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5
Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be:
M=Amount they must raise
C=Cost per magazine
n=Number of magazines
p=profit $5.5 per magazine
C+p=M/n
And rewriting the previous they should make:
n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>
<span>m = 5.5n</span>
Answer:
20(pie)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the circumference of a circle is 20 feet, the formula for circumference is 2r(pie) with r=radius
(radius)2=diameter
(diameter)(pie)
20(pie)
Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.
24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be
24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.
The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be
1800 - 432 = 1368 litres
The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be
18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.
The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.
This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be
7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.
The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be
77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Each package has 12 pencils
total number of pencils Sarah purchased: n = 12p
n = total number of pencils
p = number of packages
n depends on p, because the total number of pencils dependos on how many packages she will buy, so:
independent variable: p
dependent variable: n
╔═══╦══════════╦════╗
║ p ║ n = 12p ║ n ║
╠═══╬══════════╬════╣
║ 3 ║ n = 12*3 ║ 36 ║
╠═══╬══════════╬════╣
║ 4 ║ n = 12*4 ║ 48 ║

║ 5 ║ n = 12*5 ║ 60 ║

So, since there are two equations, we can substitute one of them into the other. In this case, it would be easiest to substitute 2b=6a-14 into the other equations. But first, simplify by dividing both sides by 2. You bet b=3a-1
We can now plug this into the other equation
Sine the equation b=3a-1 results in the value of b, we have to plug in for the value of b in the other equation
So this is what we get after plugging in:
3a-(3a-1)=7
Now, simplify. 3a-3a+1=7
Since 3a-3a = 0, this equation results in a no solution
Answer:
The result is a no-solution, or Ф
Hope this helped!! :D
