Question

A club is going to raise money by printing calendars with photos of the community. The cost of printing the calendars is $5.50 per calendar. The photographer also charges a one-time cost of $200 for taking the photos. The club has $1500 to cover the initial costs of the calendar. Create an equation that represents the number of calendars the club can print. Use the variable n for the number of calendars

Answer 1

`n = (1300)/(5.50)`

`n = 236`

Explanation:

Given

The cost of printing one calendars
`= 5.5` dollars

The one time charge of taking photo
`= 200` dollars

The total sum of money with the club
`= 1500` dollars

The total sum of money going into printing of calendars
`= 1500 -200 = 1300` dollars

The total number of calendars that can be printed with remaining
`1300` dollars is equal to

`n = (1300)/(5.50)`

`n = 236`
