Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\$ 270}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can break this problem down to understand it.
Chad and his friend make an unknown amount of money while selling t-shirts. We'll assign this to a variable, [tex]x[/tex].
After splitting it amongst him and his 5 friends, he wants everyone to have $45.
Therefore, we can multiply the profit per person by the number of people to find how much money has to be made in total.
Chad + 5 people = 6 people
We can write an equation for this problem.
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}x=45[/tex]
To solve this, we multiply both sides by 6 to cancel out the [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] (as [tex]\frac{1}{6} \cdot 6 = 1[/tex]).
[tex]45 \cdot 6 = 270[/tex]
Hope this helped!
