Question

Kyra has a summer job selling ice- cream bars . she is paid $40 per day . she is also paid a commission of $0.25 for each ice- cream bar she sells. Create and evalute an algebraic expression to calculate how much kyra can earn in one day if she sells 77 ice - cream bars .

Answer 1

Answer:

$59.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay you start by taking the 77 ice creams she sells in one day and multiply the 0.25 commission she makes for each ice cream she sells

So  $77(0.25)$ you would put 77 on top and 0.25 on bottom you would then take 5 and multiply it by both 7s thus giving you 3.85 then you take the 2 and multiply by both 7s thus giving you 15.40 if you add 3.85 & 15.40 you get 19.25 thats what Kyra earns just on commission you would then add the 40 to the 19.25 the answer to that is 59.25

Answer 2

C = commission
I = ice cream
P = pay
40 + C + I = P
40 + 0.25 x 77 =59.25
Therefore, if Kyra sells 77 ice creams than she will be paid $59.25
