Question

The jazz band is selling water bottles and license plate holders to pay for a

trip. The band earns a profit of $2.00 for each water bottle sold and $1.50 for
each license plate holder sold. Each band member must earn $150. If Maria
sells 50 license plate holders, and the remainder of the money comes from
selling water bottles, how many water bottles does she need to sell?

Answer 1

Person who answered before me is correct for you problem

Answer 2

37.5 or about 38 water bottles

Explanation:

$1.50 x 50 (license plate holders sold times price per)

$75

$150 - $75 (Total price minus amount from license plate holders)

$75

$75 / $2.00 (Remainder divided by the amount of each water bottle)

gets you 37.5 or about 38 water bottles to sell
