Question

Mustafa’s soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. The DJ charges $200 and decorations cost $100. The team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance. If n represents the number of students attending the dance, which equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit?

5n – 300 = 1,500
5n + 300 = 1,500
5n – 200 + 100n = 1,500
5n – 100 – 200n = 1,500

Answer 1

the answer is 5n-300=1,500

hope i helped

Answer 2

Answer:- 5n-300=1500 is the right answer.

Explanation:-

Let n be the number of students attending the dance .

The team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance.

⇒Total collection=5 times the number of students=5n

The DJ charges $200 and decorations cost $100.

⇒Total cost=200+100=300

According to the question, equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit

$1500=Total collection-Total cost

⇒1500=5n-300  

Therefore, equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit is 5n-300=1500.
