you and your friends decide to have a submarie sandwich sale as a fundraiser for the school band. You spend $83 on supplies and charge $5 per sandwich. At the end of the day your profit is $962. How many sandwiches did you and your friends sell? a. write a verbal model. B. translate your verbal model to an algebraic model c. solve the equation d.check that your answer is resonable

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Profit equals the amount raised minus the costs. The amount raised is the charge per sandwich times the number of sandwiches sold. The costs are equal to the amount spent on supplies.

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Look at the first sentence I gave you. Profit = amount raised - costs. Can you write the equation for that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For a standarized test 360 #2 will be needed to distribute 3 pencils to every 8th grader. If one box contains 12 pencils, how many boxes will be needed for the standardized test?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

If you need 360 pencils and they come 12 to a box, how many boxes (x) do you need?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

\[12 \frac{\text { pencils}}{\cancel{\text{ box}}} \times x \cancel{ {\text { box}}} = 360 \text { pencils}\]

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

\[12x=360\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 12 times 30 equals 360 so x=360!

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

No, x=30
