The sale of sweaters in a town changes with the temperature. If a statistical model predicts that daily sales (in dollars) are determined by the function s = 900 - 100t, where t is the temperature (in degrees Celsius), what is the temperature if sweater sales are at $1,200?

    We can solve this algebraically.

    The sales of the sweater are at $1200, that is s = 1,200. Substitute it to the given function as

    1200 = 900 - 100t

    Solving for t,

    100t = 900 - 1200

    100t = - 300

    t = - 3

    Therefore the temperature is - 3 °C.
