The school store has 1500 pencils in stock and sells an average of 20 pencils per day . The manager reorders when the number of pencils in stock is 460 . The number of days is a dependent variable write an explanation to determine in how many days the manger has recorded pencils

Answer 1

Day 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days be d,

pencil left in stock = total pencils - sold pencils per day

solve:

460 = 1500 - 20d

460 - 1500 = -20d

-20d = -1040

d = -1040/-20

d = 52

At day 52, the manager has recorded the pencil left.
