Question

a merchant is selling wind chimes from a booth at a flea market. he rents his space for $125 per day. the profit from each wind chime sold is $12. his goal is to make $3500 in five-day workweek. which equation represents how many chimes he needs to sell in a wekk to meet his goal?

Answer 1

rents his place for $125 per day and his goal has to be in 5 days. Lets use 125 times 5 days then each chime sold is $12 and we need the number of chimes sold so we use "x" as our variable. Equation 125(5) + 12x = 3500. Hope this helps.
