QuestionStacey earns \ $15 weekly plus \$0.50 per customer. What equation finds$ x$, customers needed for \$25?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Stacey earns a fixed amount of $15 each week. . She earns an additional$ 0.50 for each customer on her paper route.
3. She wants to earn exactly $25 each week.<br />4. We need to find the number of customers she needs, represented by$ x$.

STEP 2

We can form the equation by adding her fixed weekly earnings to her earnings from each customer, and setting this equal to her desired weekly earnings.
$Fixed\, earnings + (arnings\, per\, customer \\times Number\, of\, customers) = Desired\, weekly\, earnings$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the fixed earnings, earnings per customer, and desired weekly earnings to form the equation.
$\$15 + (0.50 \\times x) = \$25$ So, the correct equation is $0.50 x +15 =25$ .
