Question

Please help and when you get you answer it should be either ending in

cents, t-shirts, partners, Dollars

Answer 1

• 1/6x = 45
• x = $270

Explanation:

There are 6 friends total and for them to make $45 each, you would need to multiply 6 to 45. The only way you could do this is if you have a fraction supporting the variable.

1/6x = 45

~Multiply 6 to both sides

x = 270

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\$ 270}`

Explanation:

We can break this problem down to understand it.

Chad and his friend make an unknown amount of money while selling t-shirts. We'll assign this to a variable,
`x`.

After splitting it amongst him and his 5 friends, he wants everyone to have $45.

Therefore, we can multiply the profit per person by the number of people to find how much money has to be made in total.

Chad + 5 people = 6 people

We can write an equation for this problem.

`\displaystyle (1)/(6)x=45`

To solve this, we multiply both sides by 6 to cancel out the
`(1)/(6)` (as
`(1)/(6) \cdot 6 = 1`).

`45 \cdot 6 = 270`

Hope this helped!
