Stacey can use the formula, 25 = 15 + 5.50x to find out the number of customers she needs to make $25 weekly.
Stacey makes $15 in a week without having any customers. She will however, make $5.50 for every customer on her paper route.
The expression for the amount she makes per customer and assuming the number of customers is represented by x is therefore:
= Amount per customer × Number of customers
= 5.50 × x
= 5.50x
When this is added to the amount she makes without customers it is:
= 15 + 5.50x
Stacey wants to make $25 per week using the above expression so the full expression would be:
25 = 15 + 5.50x
In conclusion, Stacey can find the total number of customers she needs to make $25 per week by the expression 25 = 15 + 5.50x.
