Members of the band are selling candy bars to raise money. The director uses this equation to calculate the amount of profit, p, made from selling n candy bars. P = 1.50n – 300 How many candy bars must be sold to make a profit of $900? *

Answer :

Answer:

800 at least

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation you are finding out how much candy bars n, you need to sell to make $900 profit p.

So to get rid of one variable to make the equation simpler is to replace P with 900 = 1.50n - 300 since you are trying to get 900 profit.

You would then break it down by adding 300 to both sides as you need to do the opposite operation.

You'd then have:

1200 = 1.50n

After this, you need to find out what n is. To do that, you need to get rid of 1.50. To do this, you divide both sides by 1.50.

1200/1.5 and 1.5n/1.5.

This gives you:

800 = n
