Question

Floyd is an aspiring music artist. He has a record contract that pays him a base rate of $200 a month and an additional $12 for each album he sells. Last month he earned a total of $644. Write an equation to determine the number of albums (a) Floyd sold last month. Find the number of albums Floyd sold last month.

Solution

Number of albums is equal to

$$a = \frac {T - B R}{E},$$

where $T$ is total of month;

$BR$ is the base rate of month;

$E$ is the payment for each album he sells.

Then

$$a = \frac {644 - 200}{12} = 37 \text{ (albums)}$$
