Question

Joey has a $300 Target gift card. He plans to buy a small LED TV priced at $195 and will spend the rest on some amount of

sweaters (W). The price per sweater is $15; if this is true, write an equation that can be used to find the number of sweaters that Joey can purchase (exclude taxes).

Which value represents the
Constant or Coefficient?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of sweaters Joey can buy, the equation is W = (300 - 195) / 15, where 195 and 15 are constants and W is the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joey has a $300 gift card and buys an LED TV for $195. He plans to spend the rest on sweaters priced at $15 each. To find out how many sweaters Joey can purchase, we can write the equation W = (300 - 195) / 15. Subtracting the cost of the TV from the gift card amount gives us the remaining funds, and dividing by the price per sweater gives us the number of sweaters Joey can buy. In this equation, 195 and 15 are constants (as they represent set amounts), and W is the variable representing the number of sweaters.
