Question

Bryan has a job which pays him an hourly rate each week plus a bonus each time he makes a sale. Last week, Bryan made 9 sales and earned $50 in hourly pay. This week, he made 10 sales and earned $15 in hourly pay. If Bryan was paid the same amount for both weeks, how much wasthe bonus for each sale?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$35 bonus for each sale.

Step-by-step explanation:

9*(bonus) + $50 = (Payment for week 1)

10*(bonus) + $15 = (payment for week2)

Find how much the bonus was.

Both payments for each week were the same so

9*B + 50 = 10*B + 15

50 - 15 = 10B - 9B

$35 = B
