Question

Members of a school social service group hold a spaghetti dinner to raise money for orphan children. They must sell tickets at a price that will earn them more money than the cost of food.

The formula for this scenario is t = n (p − c) where

t = total profit earned from the event
c = cost of food per plate
n = number of tickets sold
p = price charged for each dinner

Rewrite the equation to determine the number of tickets they need to sell.

Answer 1

to rewrite the equation in a way to determin the number of tickets you need to get n by itself

Answer 2

does that help?

Answer 3

not really

Answer 4

can u work through the problem with me???

Answer 5

if i dont get this right ill be grounded for like moth maybe even summer

Answer 6

im not going to give you the answer but yes i will work through it
when it says to rewrite it to determine the number of tickets ...it means it wants n by itself and everything else on the other side. bc n represents the number of tickets sold
the equation is t=n (p-c) n is being multiplied by (p-c) ..to get n by itself all you need to do is make (p-c) on the other side

Answer 7

A. n x t = (p-c)
B. n= t/p-c
C. t/n=(p-c)
D. p-c/t=1/n

Answer 8

so how do you cancel out multplication when doing equations?

Answer 9

i dont remeber that y i need help

Answer 10

you divide what you need to disappear. but when you divide it on one side it has to be divided on the other side as well

Answer 11

i still dont know im sorry im not verry smart

Answer 12

notice its divided on both sides?
