Question

The drama club is having a bake sale selling cupcakes to raise money. They spend $32 on supplies and sell each cupcake for $5.

Let n represent the number of cupcakes they sell and m represent the money earned.

Which equation represents the relationship between the number of cupcakes sold and the money earned?

(1 point)

m=32n+5


m=5n−32


n=5m−32


m=5n+32

Answer 1

m = 5n − 32

Explanation: Selling n cupcakes at $5 each gives $5n in sales, minus the $32 spent on supplies, so the money earned is m = 5n − 32.
