Question

Aaron makes $45 dollars per day delivering newspapers. He earns 0.75 for each newspaper he delivers. How many newspaper, n, must he deliver in one day to make at least $60

Answer 1

he makes 20 because x= 20

Answer 2

20 newspapers

Explanation:

First create an equation.

y = 0.75x + 45

Now substitute 60 y and solve for x.

60 = 0.75x + 45

60 - 45 = 0.75x + 45 - 45

15/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75

x = 20 newspapers
