Equation: [tex]a=\frac{644-200}{12}[/tex]
Albums: [tex]37[/tex]
Also, the verified tutor above me, is also correct, I just feel like my explanations and answers are much for informational and simplier than his
First lets find out how many albums Floyd sold in a month to find out the amount of albums and how we solved it.
Let's take the [tex]\\644\[/tex] and subtract [tex]200\[/tex] from it, because he didn't make any albums or anything to get
Now that we have the amount of money that he gets from albums, we can divide this amount of money by [tex]12\[/tex] because that's the amount of money he gets from [tex]1[/tex] album. [tex]\frac{444}{12}=37[/tex]
Now we know how many albums he sells for a total of [tex]444\[/tex] plus the [tex]200\[/tex] he gets on a monthly rate.
The equation that determines the number of albums sold is:
200 + 12a = 644
The number of albums Floyd sold last month is 37
Monthly base rate = $200
Pay on each album = $12
Number of albums = a
Total money earned = $644
The equation that determines the number of albums sold is:
200 + 12a = 644
Solve the equation above to get the number of albums sold
12a = 644 - 200
12a = 444
a = 444/12
a = 37
The number of albums Floyd sold last month is 37
