Aschool spent $150 on advertising for a breakfast fundraiser. each plate of food was sold for $8.00 but cost the school $2.00 to prepare. after all expenses were paid, the school raised $2,400 at the fundraiser. which equation can be used to find x, the number of plates that were sold?
6x – 150 = 2,400
6x + 150 = 2,400
10x – 150 = 2,400
10x + 150 = 2,400
