function for scarves is P = Q-12, where Pis the price and Q is the quantity of
scarves. If Stephanie sells the scarves for $11 apiece, how many scarves can
the store make?
O
A. 34 scarves
O B. 12 scarves
O c. 23 scarves
O D. 11 marves

Answer 1

23 scarves

Explanation:

To solve this you need to plug the price Stephanie sells the scarves for, $11, in for P in the equation and solve for Q.

1. 11 = Q - 12
2. Add 12 to both sides: 23 = Q

The quantity she can make is 23 scarves.
