Question

mustafas soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. the dj charges $200 and decorations cost $100. the team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance. if n represents the number of students attending the dance, which equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit? $5n - 300 = 1,500$ $5n + 300 = 1,500$ $5n - 200 + 100n = 1,500$ $5n - 100 - 200n = 1,500$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total revenue

Revenue = $5 \times n = 5n$

Step2: Calculate total costs

Costs = $200 + 100 = 300$

Step3: Set up profit equation

Profit = Revenue - Costs, so $5n - 300 = 1500$

Answer:

$5n - 300 = 1,500$ (first option)
