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

Question

anonymous · Answer

$17.50x + $549 = $881.50
	$549x + $17.50 = $881.50
	$17.50x - $549 = $881.50
	$549x - $17.50 = $881.50
