Question

Yusef earned a total of 180 dollars from drawing 12 identically-priced pictures at a festival. Write an equation to describe the relationship between p, the number of pictures, and e, the total earnings.

Answer 1

e= 15p

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation e = 15p is describing the relationship between e and p.

Explanation:

In the given question total earning of Yusef is 180 dollars by selling 12 identically priced drawings.Since are drawings are identically priced so we can calculate the price of one drawing.

Price of one drawing = total earning ÷ total number of drawings

= 180÷12 =15 dollars

Now as per question if the number of drawings be p and e is the total earning then applying the same formula

e = price of one drawing × number of drawings

e = 15×p

So the equation e= 15p is describing the relationship.
