Question

A toy company spends $1500 per day for factory expenses plus $8 to make each teddy
bear. They sell the teddy bears for $12 a piece. Which equation could be used to find
the number of bears t the company has to sell in one day to equal its daily cost?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12t= 8t+1500 subtract 8t, both sides

4t= 1500 Divide both sides by 4

t= 1500/4

t= 375 teddy bears.

Proof:

 

12 x 375= 8(375)+1500

4,500= 3,000+1500

4,500= 4,500 We have the correct answer, you have to make 375 teddy bears.

Answer 2

Answer:

375 TEDDYS NEED TO BE MADE

Step-by-step explanation:

12t= 8t+1500 subtract 8t, both sides

4t= 1500 Divide both sides by 4

t= 1500/4

t= 375 teddy bears.

Proof:

12 x 375= 8(375)+1500

4,500= 3,000+1500

4,500= 4,500 We have the correct answer, you have to make 375 teddy bears.
