Question

Ms. Carr's class is selling magazines to raise money for a field trip. The students in the class want to decide how much profit they'll make from each magazine they sell.

The following formula describes this scenario:
\[p=\frac{ m }{ n }\]

p = Profit made from each magazine sold
m = Money they want to raise
n = Number of magazines sold

Rewrite the formula to determine the number of magazines they'll need to sell.

Answer 1

n=m/p?

Answer 2

I believe you are looking for n
p = m/n (multiply the equation by n)
np = m (now divide by p)
n = m/p
I agree with Kristen :)
