$210

It’s A

Answer 1

Answer: option A is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

s represents the number of pairs of shoes that Rich's sells.

P represents the total pay from selling s pairs of shoes.

He is paid a base salary of $25, plus $5 for every pairs of shoes he sells.

The relationship between his pay and pairs of shoes sold can be represented by the linear equation which is expressed as

p = 25 + 5s

For a week in which he sold 7 pairs of shoes, his total pay would be

p = 25 + 5 × 7

p = 25 + 35

p = $60
