@Spamchopper7 So the assignments are the same?

Answer 14

@kmullis6 a more proper place for this kind of question is in the chats. As we all know, post your question and let someone answer it. If you don't get it, then you can tag someone.

Answer 15

Angelica's service club is selling flowers for a fundraiser. Each flower costs them $0.50 to purchase. They set the sale price of each flower at the purchase price plus 40%. Write and solve an equation to determine how many flowers they will need to sell to make a profit of $500. Use complete sentences to explain what each number and variable in your equation represents. Write your solution in the context of the original problem.

Answer 16

P = the profit they make
n = the number of flowers they sell
m = the mark-up of the flowers
c = the cost of a flower

Answer 17

Can you fill in the variables for this equation?
n = P / (mc - c)

Answer 18

Sadly, no. I'm horrible at algebra, and it being online doesn't make it any easier to retain. /:

Answer 19

The P or Profit would be the $500 they need

Answer 20

Each flower is $.50, which would be the cost.
40% is the mark-up.
The number they will sell is n.

Answer 21

So, what does the equation look like?

Answer 22

Would it be like n = 500 for the first part? I'm probably wrong lol

Answer 23

P=500
n is unknown.
We are trying to solve for n.
n is the amount of flowers.

Answer 24

Here, I'll start you out.
n=500/(mc - c)

Answer 25

Find what numbers go in (mc - c)

Answer 26

Um.. 40%-0.50 ?

Answer 27

YES! Exactly!
(1.4*0.5 - 0.5)
Make sure you change 40% to 1.4

Answer 28

Oh ok!

Answer 29

So what is your equation?

Answer 30

It should look like this
n = 500 / (1.4*0.5 - 0.5)

Answer 31

Ok. We still need to find n right?

Answer 32

After you solve this equation, the answer will be n.
Solve for the parentheses first.

Answer 33

I got 1/5

Answer 34

You should get n=500/5
Solve that.

Answer 35

100

Answer 36

Whoops, sorry I typed the wrong thing in.
You should have
n = 500 / (1.4*0.5 - 0.5)
n = 2500

Answer 37

Ohh ok.

Answer 38

So, when you get 1/5, that is equal to .20

Answer 39

Just divide .20 by 500, and you get 2500.

Answer 40

The number of flowers they need to sell is 2500 to make a profit of $500.
That is, if they sell their flowers at $.50 marked up to 40%.

Answer 41

Good job working through this!

Answer 42

Sorry I didn't respond eariler, I had to step away from the computer. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! (:

Answer 43

Of course! Happy to help. I totally understand how you feel, I struggle with math really badly. In fact, I'm doing my Algebra 2 Honors course on FLVS right now haha.
