Question

The Space Club is having some

posters printed. The printer charges
$250 plus $2 per poster. How many
posters can be printed for $1000?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation: 250 + 2p = 1,000 (p = number of posters)

250 + 2p = 1000

-250 -250

--------------------------

2p = 750

2p/2 = 750/2

---------------------

p = 375

375 posters

Answer 2

1000 = 2p + 250

p = poster

1000 - 250 = 750

750 = 2p

750/2 = 375

p = 375

375 posters can be printed for $1000.
