A small company has an advertising budget of $15,000.The company plans to produce and air a television commercial. It will cost $500 to produce the commercial and an additional $50 each time the commercial is aired. How many days can the company afford to run the commercial if it is aired once a day?

290 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the starting cost is $500. Suppose the commercial is aired x times. That means the cost will be a total of 50x.

Adding that to 500, we get a total of 50x + 500.

The company's budget is only $15,000, so we set this equal to 50x + 500 to find x:

50x + 500 = 15,000

50x = 14,500

x = 290

The answer is 290 days.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
