Question

Your school's drama club charges $10 per person for admission to a play. The club borrowed $400 to pay for costumes and props. After paying back the loan, the club has a profit of $100. Write an equation. Let x represent the number of people who attended the play.

Answer 1

50 people came to the play

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of people that attended the play

10x=400+100

10x=500

divide by 10 on both sides

50 people came to the play

400+100=500

40 people is $400 for the props

10 people makes $100

Hope this helps :-)
