Question

The drama club is selling story books to raise money the supplier charge a one time fee of $40 for each order and $5 for each storybook write and solve an equation for the number storybooks a drama club can purchase if their budget is $1240 

Answer 1

Let X be the number of storybooks that the drama club purchases from the supplier. We need to write two equations with two variables and solve them to find the number of books the club can purchase.

First equation: The total cost of purchasing the storybooks is given by:

C = 40 + 5X

Here, C is the total cost of purchasing the storybooks, 40 is the one-time fee for the order, and 5 is the cost of each storybook. The club's budget is given by $1240. So the second equation is:

1240 = 40 + 5X

Combining the two equations above, we get:

C = 40 + 5X = 1240

Solving for X, we get:

X = (1240 - 40) / 5 = 248

So the drama club can purchase 248 storybooks from the supplier.

Hope this helps my friend!
