Question

A school store has 1200 pencils in stock, and sells an average of 25 pencils per day. The manager reorders when the number of pencils in stock is 500. In how many days will the manger have to reorder? The equation that the manger uses to calculate number of days is 1200 - 25x =500.

A 35 DAYS
b 45 DAYS
C 28 DAYS
D 17 DAYS

Answer 1

C. 28 DAYS

Explanation:

You take the total ammount of pencils and subtract the minimum stock (y intercept)

1200-500 = 700

700 divided by the slope of the equation (how many pencils a day is sold) 25

700/25 = 28
