To Calculate:
The linear equation to find Ethan’s total weekly pay T if he makes d deliveries.
Answer to Problem 3CYP
Linear equation find Ethan’s total weekly pay T if he makes d deliveries :
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
In addition to the weekly salary, Ethan is paid $16 per delivery.Last week , he made 5 deliveries and his total pay was $215.
Let
T = Total pay of Ethan per week = $215
d = Number of deliveries in a week = 5
b = The weekly salary of Ethan
m = Pay per delivery = $16
Formula Used:
Equation of slope-intercept form of a line is given by:
Where
Calculation:
First , we form the equation :
Let
T = Total pay of Ethan per week = $215
d = Number of deliveries in a week = 5
b = The weekly salary of Ethan
m = Pay per delivery = $16
Now, we form the equation :
Pay per delivery = $16
So, pay of d deliveries in a week = 16d
The salary of Ethan per week = b
So, the linear equation ( slope-intercept form) of Ethan’s total weekly pay T if he makes d deliveries
Now , we find b by substituting the values in (2)
Hence, the weekly salary of Ethan = $135.
Substituting the value in equation (2)
The required equation of Ethan’s total weekly pay T if he makes d deliveries
