Ivan spends $117.30 on painting supplies plus $9.50 for each canvas he paints. He sells his paintings for $18 each. Let m be the amount of money in dollars and p be the number of paintings produced. The system of equations that models the scenario is: m = 9.5p + 117.3 m = 18p How many paintings does Ivan need to sell in order to start making a profit? 13 14 248 249

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

I took the quiz and got it right

Answer 2

m1=9.5p+117.5
m2=18p
m2 is the money earned, m1 is the money spent, the profit is m2-m1:
18p-9.5p-117.5>0
8.5p>117.5
p>13.8
so 14 is the answer.
