Mustafa’s soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. the dj charges $200 and decorations cost $100. the team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance. if n represents the number of students attending the dance, which equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit? 5n – 300 = 1,500 5n + 300 = 1,500 5n – 200 + 100n = 1,500 5n – 100 – 200n = 1,500

- 5n-300=1500 is the right answer.

Explanation:-

Let n be the number of students attending the dance .

The team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance.

⇒Total collection=5 times the number of students=5n

The DJ charges $200 and decorations cost $100.

⇒Total cost=200+100=300

According to the question, equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit

$1500=Total collection-Total cost

⇒1500=5n-300  

Therefore, equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit is 5n-300=1500.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
