B. $$\frac{ 1500 }{ 24 + x }(3.6)$$
C. $$2250 - \frac{ 1500 }{ 24+x }(3.6)$$

aripotta · Answer

use the expression you made for b and make it equal to 2250 - 600

1500/24+x (3.60) = 1650

so now you should be solving for x

aripotta · Answer

then you can do 24 + x to get your answer once you've figured out x
