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 (You do not need to solve the equation).

Answer 1

1500 so yes its the easy way

Answer 2

The total cost to print n calendars is the sum of the cost of printing each calendar and the one-time cost for taking the photos:

Total cost = (Cost per calendar * Number of calendars) + One-time cost for photos

Given that the cost per calendar is $5.50 and the one-time cost for photos is $200, the equation can be written as:

Total cost = 5.50n + 200

Now, we know that the club has $1500 to cover the initial costs of the calendars. Therefore, the equation can be set equal to $1500:

5.50n + 200 = 1500

So, the equation representing the number of calendars the club can print is 5.50n + 200 = 1500, where n is the number of calendars.
