Q. Ann is starting a digital art business. She spends $89 on software and $394 on online advertisements. Printing and framing each piece of art will cost her $14, and she will sell each piece for $35. Which equation can you use to find a, the number of pieces of art Ann must sell for her sales to equal her expenses?Choices:(A) 89a=35a+394+14(B) 35a=89+394+14aHow many pieces of art must Ann sell for her sales to equal her expenses?___ pieces of art
Calculate Total Expenses: Calculate total initial expenses for software and advertisements.$89 (software) + $394 (advertisements) = $483.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation for expenses and sales.Expenses: $483 + $14a (printing and framing per piece).Sales: $35a (selling price per piece).Equation: $35a=$483+$14a.
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation to solve for a. Subtract $14a from both sides: $35a−$14a=$483. $21a=$483.
Divide to Find a: Divide both sides by 21 to find a. a=21483.a=23.
