Question

The homecoming committee bought 500 plastic souvenir footballs to sell at the
homecoming game to raise money for a local charity. The profit (in dollars), p, from the
sale of s footballs can be represented by the following equation: p = 5s - 128

Answer 1

s = 500

substituting in the equation,

5 * 500 - 128

= 2500 - 128

= 2372 footballs.
