Question

Oprah makes $156.00 per day plus an additional 8% commission on her sales. Which equation could be used to find how much Oprah made in one day, r, if she sold x dollars worth?
A.
156x - $8.00 = r

B.
0.08x - $156.00 = r

C.
0.08x + $156.00 = r

D.
8x + $156.00 = r

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C.  0.08x + $156.00 = r.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Oprah makes $156.00 per day plus an additional 8% commission on her sales.

She sold x dollars worth.

Now, to find equation how much Oprah made in one day, r.

As. given in question:

She makes per day = $156.00.

Worth of sold = $x.$

Commision on her sales = 8%.

And one day = $r.$

Now, to get the equation Oprah made in one day:

$r=\ 156.00+8\%\ of\ x.$

$r=\ 156.00+\frac{8}{100} \times x$

$r=\ 156.00+0.08\times x$

$r=\ 156.00+0.08x$

$r=0.08x+\ 156.00$

$0.08x+\ 156.00=r$

Thus, the equation is  $0.08x+\ 156.00=r.$

Therefore, the answer is C.  0.08x + $156.00 = r.
