Question

A local game store earns a profit of $17.50 for every game it sells. The profit from every game sold is deposited directly into a savings account, which currently has a balance of $549. If the stores goal is to increase its balance to $881.50, which equation will help the store determine how many games the store must sell?

$17.50x + $549 = $881.50

$549x + $17.50 = $881.50

$17.50x - $549 = $881.50

$549x - $17.50 = $881.50

Answer 1

$17.50x + $549 = $881.50

Answer 2
