Asked by Kiki

Rod and reel inc. manufactures and sells fishing rods. The company uses the equation P= 25r - 12,500 to estimate its profit P on the sale on the fishing rods. How many fishing rods were sold if the company made a profit of 125,000?

Please help. Thank you

P= 25r - 12,500

125,000 = 25r - 12,500

112,500 = 25r

112,500/25 = r

4,500 = r

I just went over my arithmetic and still get 4,500. How did you get 5500?

Answered by Kiki
I think you are suppose to add the 12,500 not subtract it.

Ahh, thank you for catching my stupid mistake! I goofed!

125,000 = 25r - 12,500

137,500 = 25r

5,500 = r
