I need an answer! Madison Middle School sells rolls of wrapping paper to raise money for student activities. The school gets half of all sales, minus $300 for prizes to top sellers. What is the total sales if the school earns $5000?

$10,600 worth of wrapping paper

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total sales for wrapping paper be represented by variable x

Amount the school keeps is half of total sales x, minus $300. Written as an equation, that would be ; 0.5x - 300

If the schools wants to earn $5000, this amount would be equal to the above equation of what it keeps;

0.5x - 300 = 5000

add 300 to both sides;

0.5x = 5000+300

0.5x = 5300

divide both sides by 0.5 and solve for x;

x=5300 / 0.5

x= 10,600

Therefore, they need to sell $10,600 worth of wrapping paper.
