Question

Steve opens a jewelry shop and makes $16.00 profit for each piece of jewelry sold.The amount Steve makes is given f(x)=16x,where x is the number of pieces of jewelry sold.

Answer 1

16pieces

Explanation:

We can find the number of pieces is the amount steve make is $256

If steve makes $256, then f(x) = 256

Substitute into the formula and find x

256 = 16x

Swap

16x = 256

Divide both sides by 16

16x/16 = 256/16

x = 16

Hence the number of jewelry sold is 16pieces
