Question

Roger gets $40 per day as wages and $4.50 as commission for every pair of shoes he sells in a day. His daily earnings goal is $112.

Write an equation to determine how many pairs of shoes, p, Roger must sell in a day to meet his daily earnings goal.

Answer 1

112=4.5p+40

16

Explanation:

Answer 2

40+4.50x+112

16 shoes daily to make his goal

Explanation:

to find how much shoes he would have to sell take away 40 from both sides of the equation which would leave you with 4.50x=72 next divide 4.50 out of both sides of the equation x=16 so he would have to sell 16 pairs of shoes a day to meet his goal
