wow u asked this in 2018

anyone else from RSM...

it is (A)

The newspapers did she sell at $.25 at 80. If in the linear equation one variable is present then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

The given data in the problem is;

The cost for one newspaper is $.25

The cost for other newspapers is $.40

The cost at which the 100 newspapers sold was $28.00

x is the number of the newspaper sold at $.25

y is the number of the other newspaper

The sum of both the newspaper is 100

x+y=100

y=100-x

[tex]25x+40y=28.00 \\\\ 25x+40(100-x)=2,800\\\\ 25x+4,000-40x=2,800\\\\ -15x+4,000=2,800 \\\\-15x=-1,200\\\\\ x=80[/tex]

Hence newspapers did she sell at $.25 at 80.
