Meena bought some shirts for Rs 600. If each shirt had cost Rs 10 less, she could have bought 1 more shirt for the same money. Which quadratic in the price x (per shirt, in Rs) models this?

Question

Accepted Answer

x^2 - 10x - 6000 = 0. 600/x-10 - 600/x = 1. So 600x - 600(x-10) = x(x-10), 6000 = x^2 - 10x, giving x^2 - 10x - 6000 = 0.
