Question

EARNINGS Francesca bought 25 worth of face painting supplies. At a local fair, she

charges 5 to paint a child's face. How many faces must she paint to earn 80?

Answer 1

Francesca must paint 11 faces in order to earn $80.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of faces Francesca must paint to earn $80, we need to determine how many $5 face paintings she needs to exceed her initial purchase of $25 worth of supplies and reach $80. This can be done by setting up an equation:

25 + 5x = 80

where x represents the number of face paintings.

Now we can solve for x:

5x = 80 - 25

5x = 55

x = 55/5

x = 11

Therefore, Francesca must paint 11 faces in order to earn $80.
