Pippa can you try this one A locksmith charges $400 plus $280 for each lock installed. How many locks can he replace for $2360?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it is 2360/(400+280)= 3.47 so i would say 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i am not sure if i understood the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got that but its weird how can he install half a lock

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he cant so with the amount of money he has he can only install 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i have a feeling the question is something else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It isnt so clear. Like what r u learning now? What grade r u in? It all depends

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its college algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm so i doubt it wld be so simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it cld be (230x+400) = 2360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then the answer wld be 8.5 so i wld say 8 i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did it that way and got 1.43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 8.52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See the equation isnt so clear cut it doesnt say if they r replacing one person or a bunch of ppl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea
