Question

Wendy earns $2 for every table she serves plus 20% the total customer order. Define a variable and write an expression to represent the amount of money she earns for one table

Answer 1

The question asks you to write an algebraic expression to represent the amount of money she earns for one table:

$2(1) + 0.20(c) = m

Explanation:

She earns $2 per table and she's serving one table, so it would be $2(1)
and then she also earns 20% of the total customer order, so it would be
+ 0.20(c), c stands for the customer order

and m would represent the amount of money she earned
