Photographer must pay 300 dollars in salary a day and 5.79 for editing proofs.
C = 300 + 5.79p
How many proofs can the photographer edit and print if the total cost cannot exceed a budget of $2000
Im unsure how to write an equation for this type of problem please help.
Solution
C = 300+5.79 p
where p is the number of proofs
if total budget is $ 2000
plug C = 2000
2000 = 300 + 5.79 p
2000 - 300 = 5.79 p
1700 = 5.79 p
p = 1700 / 5.79
p = 293.60
therefore, photographer can edit 293 proofs approximately if total cost cannot exceed $2000
