Question

Norma made quilts and sold them at a craft show. The cost of fabric for each quilt was $13.55. She sold each quilt for $35. The number of quilts that Norma sold is represented by n.

a) Write an expression that represents the amount of money Norma made as
a profit if she sold n quilts.

b) Norma wants to make a total profit of $200. What is the least number of
quilts she must sell?

Answer 1

least number of quilts is gonna be 10

Explanation:

ok...so profit = revenue - expenses

n = # of quilts

revenue : (the money made from the quilts)

she sold each quilt for 35 bucks......35n

expense : (the money Norma spent on the materials)

the cost of fabric is 13.55 per quilt......13.55n

so ur expression is :

revenue - expenses

35n - 13.55n <==== this is part A

==========================

she wants to make a profit of 200...

P = revenue - expenses

200 = 35n - 13.55n

200 = 21.45n

200 / 21.45 = n

9.32 = n.......gonna have to round up to 10 <==== part B

ok...so 9 quilts is not gonna be quite enough...so shes gonna have to make 10.
