A) f(t) = 50 + 20t
B) f(t) = 300 + 20t
C) f(t) = 50 + 0.2t
D) f(t) = 300 + 0.2t

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $f(t)=300+0.20t$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mikayla is a waitress who makes a guaranteed $50 per day.

Since Miklaya works  6 days per week, so the guaranteed income for one week would be $\ 50\times 6=\ 300$  

We are also told that she gets tips of 20% of all her weekly customer receipts, t. So amount earned from tips would be 20% of t, that is $\frac{20}{100}t=0.20t$.

Total amount earned in one week would be guaranteed income for 1 week plus 20% of t:

$300+0.20t$

Therefore, our required function is $f(t)=300+0.20t$ and option D is the correct choice.
