This week, Michael collected $468 for delivering newspapers. He had 40 repeat customers and 18 new ones. As an incentive, he charged the new subscribers $3 less than the repeat customers. If x represents the amount Michael collects from each repeat customer, which equation models this problem?

Respuesta :

18z + 40x = 468

z = x-3 because they get charge 3 less

x = value repeat customers pay

18(x-3) + 40x = 468

distribute the 18

18x - 54 + 40x = 468

simplify

x=9

New customers = 9

because new get charged three less they get charged 6

Answer:

The equation that models this problem

40x+18(x-3)=468

Michael charges each new subscriber $6
