Answer:

Option C is correct.

Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linear regression equation

y = 0.18 x + 320.22

is used to predict the weekly salary, y, of an employee who sells x dollars worth of merchandise.

Joaquin sold $1500 worth of goods. Meaning that x for that week for Joaquin is 1500.

Joaquin' s salary for that week is then given as

y = 0.18x + 320.22

y = 0.18(1500) + 320.22 = 590.22

Hence, Joaquin's salary for that week = $590.22

Alex earns $650 that week. Meaning that y for Alex in that week = 650

y = 0.18x + 320.22

650 = 0.18x + 320.22

0.18x = 650 - 320.22 = 329.78

x = (329.78/0.18) = 1832.1

Hence, Alex sold goods worth $1832.1 that week.

Joaquin sold goods worth $1500

Joaquin earned $590.22

Alex sold goods worth $1832.1

Alex earned $650

From this calculation, it is evident that 'Alex earned about $60 more than Joaquin did' is the correct option as $650 is about $60 more than $590.22

Hope this Helps!!!
