Answer:
Correct expression: 85 + 0.06(t - 400)
Correct earnings: $91
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression Joan wrote is incorrect because instead, $85, she put $400 as her base salary. The correct expression would be 85 + 0.06(t - 400), where 85 is her base pay in dollars, and t - 400 represents her sales in dollars exceeding $400.
If Joan's sales were $500, she would not make $424.90, but
85 + 0.06(t - 400)
85 + 0.06(500 - 400)
85 + 0.06(100)
85 + 6
$91
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Andy
