Question

Grant earns $5 for each magazine he sells.Write an equation in two variables showing the relationship between the number pf magazines sold and the amount of money made.If Grant sell 12 magazines,how much money will he make?

Answer 1

`A=5m`

Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.

Explanation:

Let m represent number of magazine sold and A represent amount of money earned.

We have been given that Grant earns $5 for each magazine he sells. So amount earned from m magazines would be 5 times m that is
`5m` dollars.

Now, we will equate total amount earned by Grant with A as:

`A=5m`

Therefore, our required equation would be
`A=5m`.

To find the amount earned by Grant by selling 12 magazines, we will substitute
`m=12` in our equation as:

`A=5(12)`

`A=60`

Therefore, Grant will make $60 from selling 12 magazines.
