Joseph's hourly rate RRR, in dollars, is a function of ttt, the number of years he works at the grocery store. Write the function's formula.

Answer 1

Answer:

$R(t)=10+0.50t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of years.

We have been given that When Joseph first starts working at a grocery store, his hourly rate is $10.

For each year he works at the grocery store, his hourly rate increases by $0.50. Increase in hourly rates after t years would be $0.50t$

The hourly rates after t years will be 10 plus $0.50t$.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$R(t)=10+0.50t$

Therefore, the function $R(t)=10+0.50t$ represents Joseph's hourly rates after t years.
