His friend Asia works for the same radio station but she receives a salary only, which is $ 1 , 275 $1,275 per week. How many packages does Nic need to sell in a week to earn as much as Asia?

Answer 1

15 Packages

Explanation:

Let number of packages = x

For Nic

Nic sells advertising packages for a radio station. The company pays him $ 150 per week and they also pay him $ 75 for every package he sells.

Equation =

150 + 75x

His friend Asia works for the same radio station but she receives a salary only, which is $ 1 , 275per week.

We solve by equating

150 + 75x = 1275

75x = 1275 - 150

75x = 1125

x = 1125/75

x = 15 Packages
