Question

Sam is a waiter at a local restaurant where he earns wages of $7 per hour. Sam figures that he also earns about $5 in tips for each person he serves. Sam works 6 hours on a particular day.

Answer 1

Are you just looking for the equation... 6*7+5x or 42+5x

Answer 2

Answer:

y=5x+42

Where y is the money he earns and x is the number of person he serves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of person he serves =x

It is given that he earns $5 as tip for each person he serves.

Hence total tip earned for serving x person=5x

His fixed wages are $7 per hour and he works for 6 hours a day. Hence his wages per day are $7*6 =$42

Hence total money earned for a day , say y can be represented as

y=5x+42
