Q. C=40(5−s)After Hiro's family photoshoot, the photographer sells the printed photos by the sheet. Hiro has a $200 credit from a prior session, and the equation gives the total credit left, C, in dollars, if he buys s sheets. How many sheets can Hiro purchase with his credit?Choose 1 answer:(A) 5 sheets(B) 8 sheets(C) 40 sheets(D) 200 sheets
Understand the equation: Understand the equation and what it represents.The equation C=40(5−s) represents the total credit left, C, in dollars, after Hiro buys s sheets. Hiro has a $200 credit to start with.
Set up the equation: Set up the equation to solve for the number of sheets Hiro can purchase with his $200 credit.We know that Hiro's total credit after purchasing sheets is $200, so we set C to 200 and solve for s:200=40(5−s)
Distribute the 40: Distribute the 40 into the parentheses. 200=40×5−40×s200=200−40s
Isolate the variable: Isolate the variable s on one side of the equation.To do this, we can subtract 200 from both sides of the equation:200−200=200−200−40s0=−40s
