Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

7.50h + 0.20s + 40

A)

Coefficients are 7.50 and 0.20

Variables are h and s

Constant=40

B) if Corinne works for 25 hours and selling $300 in magazine

Weekly earnings = 7.50h + 0.20s + 40

=7.50(25) + 0.20(300) + 40

= 187.5 + 60 + 40

=$287.5

C)

If Corinne starts earning $9 per hour.

Original expression

7.50h + 0.20s + 40

New expression

9h + 0.20s + 40

The coefficient of h will change because of the increase in earnings per hour

Coefficients are 9 and 0.20
