Question

Tyler works in retail where she earns $10.50 per hour. She also earns $15 for every new credit account she gets customers to open and she gets a weekly stipend of $50 for clothing. Tyler knows her weekly earnings can be shown with the following expression:
10.50h + 15c + 50

Part A: Identify a coefficient, a variable, and a constant in this expression. (3 points)
Part B: If Tyler works for 37 hours and opens 12 new credit accounts, how much does she earn? Show your work to receive full credit. (4 points)

Answer 1

A 
coefficient = 10.50 or 15, both real numbers that qualify variables 
variable = c and h 
constant = 50 

B 
10.50h + 15c + 50 
10.5 x 37 + 15 x 12 + 50 
388.50 + 180 + 50 = 618.50 

C 
Coefficient would change from 10.50 to 11.25 
It is fixed until the next raise.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
