Answer:
You need to sell 5 items in order to pay for a week at camp.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost for a week at camp = $220
You have = $140 and you earn $16 for even item you sell.
Let "x" be the number of items to be sell.
16x + 140 = 220
Let's solve for x.
Subtract 140 from both sides,
16x + 140 - 140 = 220 - 140
16x = 80
Divide both sides by 16.
[tex]\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{80}{16}[/tex]
x = 5
So, you need to sell 5 items in order to pay for a week at camp.
