Question

A company sell earbuds for $17 each. At the end of the week,they have sold $731 worth of earbuds.how many earbuds did they sell? Write and solve an equation to find the answer

Answer 1

43 earbuds

Explanation:

Let x be the number of earbuds sold over the week

This implies that

1 earbud:$17

x earbud:$731

Writing an equation, we get

`(1)/(17) = (x)/(731)`

cross multiplying, we obtain

17x=731

Dividing through by 17,we get

x=43
