A school spent $150 on advertising for a breakfast fundraiser. Each plate of food was sold for $8.00 but cost the school $2.00 to prepare. After all expenses were paid, the school raised $2,400 at the fundraiser. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of plates that were sold?

You buy 4 magazines for $5 each and 2 drinks for $4 each Calculate total cost: Since cost = price * quantity, we have: Total cost = $5 * 4 magazines + $4 * 2 drinks Total cost = 20 + 8 Total Cost = [B]28[/B]

You buy a container of cat litter for $12.25 and a bag of cat food for x dollars. The total purchase is $19.08, which includes 6% sales tax. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of the cat food. Our purchase includes at cat litter and cat food. Adding those together, we're given: 12.25 + x = 19.08 To solve for x, [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=12.25%2Bx%3D19.08&pl=Solve']we type this equation into our search engine[/URL], and we get: x = 6.83 Since the cat food includes sales tax, we need to remove the sales tax of 6% to get the original purchase price. Original purchase price = After tax price / (1 + tax rate) Original purchase price = 6.83/1.06 Original purchase price = [B]$6.44[/B]

You can spend at most $35. If you buy 5 tickets, how much can you spend on each ticket We're given the number of tickets as 5. We know cost = price * quantity Let p = price The phrase [B]at most[/B] means less than or equal to, so we have: 5p <= 35 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/interval-notation-calculator.php?num=5p%3C%3D35&pl=Show+Interval+Notation']Plugging this inequality into our search engine[/URL], we have: [B]p <= 7[/B]

You have $10.00 to spend on tacos. Each taco costs $0.50. Write and solve an inequality that explains how many tacos you can buy. Let's start with t as the number of tacos. We know that cost = price * quantity, so we have the following inequality for our taco spend: [B]0.5t <= 10 [/B] Divide each side of the inequality by 0.5 to isolate t: 0.5t/0.5 <= 10/0.5 Cancel the 0.5 on the left side and we get: t <= [B]20 [MEDIA=youtube]yy51EsGi1nM[/MEDIA][/B]

You went to the State Fair and spent $20. If cotton candy costs $2 and a soda pop costs $1. Which equation represents the relation between the number of cotton candy (c) and soda pops (s) you can buy? Our total cost for 20 at the state fair is: Cost of Cotton Candy + Cost of Soda = 20 We know that price = cost * quantity, so we have: 2c + 1s = 20 Since 1s is written as s, we have: [B]2c + s = 20[/B]
