Question

In the equation, C = 8n + 25, C represents amount of money raised and n represents the number of pledges. How many pledges are needed to raise $850?

Answer 1

103 pledges

Explanation:

The equation we have here is;

C = 8n + 25

Now we need to find n given that c is $850

simply substitute for the value of c in the question

850 = 8n + 25

850-25 = 8n

825 = 8n

n = 825/8

n = 103.125

But since a pledge cannot be fractional, we can say that n = 103
