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?
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?
Identify Equation & Variables: Identify the equation and what each variable represents.Equation: C=40(5−s)Here, C represents the total credit left after purchasing s sheets, where each sheet costs \(\(40\)).
Set Up Equation for Sheets: Set up the equation to find the number of sheets Hiro can buy with his $200 credit.We know Hiro's total credit is $200, so set C=200:200=40(5−s)
Solve for Number of Sheets: Solve for s, the number of sheets.Divide both sides by 40 to simplify:40200=5−s5=5−s
