Answer 1

Answer:

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write what we know.

$10 a month bonus

+ $0.50 / per item of the month

$2 per compliment

We can write an equation:

T = Total bonus for the month

i = number of item of the month sales

c = number of compliments

T = $10 + $0.50i + $2c

i = 17

c = 2

Plug in the values:

T = $10 + $0.50i + $2c

T = $10 + $0.50( 17 )+ $2( 2 )

T = $10 + $8.50 + 4

T = $22.50

Her bonus for this month is $22.50
