Question

Sam is handing out advertisements for an upcoming event. He starts with a box of 5,000 advertisements and hands out 12 advertisements per minute, on average. Which of the following equations best models the relationship between the amount of time t, in minutes, Sam spends handing out advertisements and the number of advertisements, n, remaining? A t = 5,000n - 12 B n = 5,000t - 12 C t = 5,000 - 12n D n = 5,000 - 12t ​

Answer 1

n = 5,000 - 12t ​

Explanation:

Sam is handing out advertisements for an upcoming event.

No of advertisements = 5000

No of advertisements per minute is 12.

We need to find the equation that best models the relationship between the amount of time t, Sam spends handing out advertisements and the number of advertisements, n, remaining.

5000 is fixed and there are 12 advertisements per minute. Let the equation is given by :

n = 5,000 - 12t ​

Hence, the correct option is (d).
