Question

G=h(t) + p(c) is an equation that represents the gross pay of a server: Gross pay = hourly wage (time worked) + percent tip (cost of customer meals) Evaluate G=h(t) + p(c) if h=$4.25, t=16 hours, p=15%, and c=$250.00.

Answer 1

Answer:

$105.5  for 16 hours at $6.59 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

form the equation given, G=h(t) + p(c)

where G=Gross pay,

            h= hourly wage

            t=time worked

             p=percent tip

             c=cost of customer meals

we determine the gross pay by first determining the independent variables

h=$4.25, t=16 hours,

$p=15%of c\\p=\frac{15}{100}*250 \\p=37.5$

if we substitute values, we arrive at

$G=h(t)+p(c)\\G=4.25(16)+37.5\G=68+37.5\\G=105.5$

to determine the per hour gross pay we have

105.5/16

hourly gross pay,G=$6.59
