Juma earns $12.50 for each newspaper subscription he sells. He also earns a $50 base salary each week. If he wants to earn $400 next week, how many newspaper subscriptions does he need to sell? Write an equation and solve.

400=12.50x+50

400-50=12.50x

350=12.50x

350÷12.50=x

28=x

Step-by-step explanation:

he needs to sell 28 newspaper subscriptions to earn $400 in the next week.

equation:

$400=50+12.50x

x=amount of newspaper subscriptions required to sell

597

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
