Aclub is making posters to raise money. the printer charges a base fee of $270 and $2 per poster for supplies. a person sells each poster for $ 5. how many posters must he sell to make a profit of $ 300?

He must sell 190 posters make a profit of $300.

Explanation:

Given:

Base fee= $270  

Fee for supplies= $2

Cost of poster=$5

To find:

The number of posters to be sold to get a profit of $300=?

Solution:

Let the number of posters sold be n.

Now, we know that,

profit = selling price – cost price

$ 300 = $ 5 for each poster – ( $ 270 base fee + $ 2 for each poster)

300 = 5 x n – (270 + 2 x n)  

300 = 5n – 270 – 2n  

5n – 2n = 300 + 270  

3n = 570  

n = 190

ok
