Joe works at YummyBurger. He earns a salary of $50 a day plus $0.05 for every super-sized value meal he sells. Nate works at SuperGoodBurger. He earns a salary of $20 a day plus $0.15 for every super-sized value meal he sells. After how many super-sized value meals will the boys have earned the same amount of money?

Respuesta :

Answer:

300 burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up an equation like this: 50+0.05x=20+0.15x

Then, subtract 0.05x from both sides: 50=20+0.10x

Subtract 20 from both sides: 30=0.10x

Divide by .10 on both sides: 300=x

X represents how many burgers must be sold for the boys to have earned the same amount of money, and that is 300 burgers.

They will have sold 300 super sized value meals to earn the same amount of money
