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
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?

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
125,000 = 25r - 12,500
137,500 = 25r
5,500 = r
