You have designed an app for students to use at your school. It is an interactive calendar that has all of your school events on it, and it will allow the user to incorporate their schedule in it, assignments, etc. You estimate that about 200 people at your school will purchase the app to use. You are hoping this will give you enough money to buy a new video game system (or iPad, smartphone, etc.) which costs $500. You need to figure out how much to sell the app for so that the 200 sales will give you enough money for your purchase.
1. Write an equation to represent the situation that will allow you to figure out how much you need to charge for your app. Solve the equation.
2. How can you increase the amount of money you get from sales of this app?
