Question

A florist shop represents its first month’s sales with the equation y = 168 x + 8, where x represents the number of days that the shop is open and y represents the sales in dollars. The owner of the shop would like to calculate the number of days it took to reach $3,200 in sales. Which would be used to solve the problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 19, that means the shop was open for 19 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We can plug in the value of 3200 into y to get

3200 = 168x+8

We can subtract 8 from both sides to get

168x = 3192

We now divide 168 from both sides to get our answer

x = 19

So, the shop was open for 19 days!!
