Question

Write an equation that can be used to find the number of games sold for any month

Answer 1

60(x)=g

60 represents the price of a new game

x represents the amount of games

g represents the amount sold

Answer 2

`\text{Number of games sold in a month} = x* y`

Explanation:

In order to find the equation for number of games sold for any month, we have to make the following assumptions:

Let y be the number of days in a month, which can vary for different months.

Let x be the fixed number of games sold on a particular day.

Then,

`\text{Number of games sold in a month} = \text{Games sold per day }* \text{ Number of days in a month}`

`\text{Number of games sold in a month} = x* y`

Example:

For the month of February, 5 games were sold everyday. Then, number of games sold in February

`5* 28 = 140`

Thus, 140 games were sold in February.
