Question

A parent volunteer group is raising money by making custom hats to sell atschool activities. They plan to sell the hats for $10. Each hat costs $4 tomake. They spent $50 for advertising.Use n to represent the number of hats they sell. Multiply this by the moneythey make for each hat, then subtract the advertising cost.Which expression represents the money that the group raises?

Answer 1

Let n be the number of hats they sell

We are ask to multiply n by the money they make for each hat

From the question, eah hat costs $4

so we are going to multiply 4 by n which will give 4n

Also we are to subtract the advertising cost.

The advertising cost is $50

so the expression becomes 4n - $50

And the equation is

$10 = 4n - $50
