.Algebra equations

Mahpee was selling magazine subscriptions. He earned $5 plus $0.50 for each subscription he sold. If Maphee earned $25, use the equation 25 = 5 + .50n to find the number of subscriptions n he sold.

The question was how many subscriptions did he sell.  400 is too much.
 
He sold 4 subscriptions.
 
25=5+.50n
25-5=20
20=.50n
20/.50=40
n=40
25=20/5.50
He sold 4 subscription
4/5.50= $22 got $3 tip
