Question 981578: Presley is organizing the school book sale. Each stall will have 40 books on the shelf and 2 boxes of books with b books inside. Presley also has 200 books in inventory to refill the shelves as books sell. This situation can be written as the following expression:
40s + (2b)s + 200
How many books should Presley have ready if she plans to open 8 stalls and have 12 books in each box? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
S=number of stalls=8; b=books per box=12; T=total books needed
.
T=40S+(2b)S+200
T=S(40+2b)+200
T=8(40+2(12))+200
T=8(40+24)+200
T=8(64)+200
T=512+200=712
.
ANSWER: She needs to have 712 books on hand to open 8 stalls.
