Nancy wants to sell 54 cd's to her 6 friends for 5.00 each. how much will nancy receive from selling her cd's? if each friend buys the same amount of cd's, how many will each friend buy?

she will make $270 and each friend buys 9 CD's

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the money she makes take the CDs and multiply it times the money each one costs. To find the amount each friend buys divide the cds by th amount of friends

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
