Gucci Mane's construction company was hired to lay down all-white bricks at a construction site in east Atlanta near Zone 6. They were paid $300 per brick and at the end of the contract they were paid $168,000. Write and solve an equation to determine how many all-white bricks were laid down at the construction site in East Atlanta.

Respuesta :

Let the total Amount paid be Y

Let the total number of all-white brick be X

Since the Amount paid is dependent on the number of all all-white brick, we have

Y = 300X

since we were told the total Amount paid at the end of the contract is

168000 = 300X

300X =168000

X =168000/300

X = 560.

meaning 560 all-white brick were laid down.
