Question

At noon, a barista notices she has $20 in her tip jar. If she makes an average of $0.50 from each customer, how much will she have in her tip jar if she serves n more customers during her shift

Answer 1

Answer:

She has $20 + $0.50n in her tip jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount in tip jar at noon = $20

Average amount made from each customer = $0.50

Number of additional customers served after noon = n

Therefore, we have:

Additional amount made after noon = Average amount made from each customer * Number of additional customers served after noon = $0.50 * n = $0.50n

Amount in tip jar = Amount in tip jar at noon + Additional amount made after noon = $20 + $0.50n

Therefore, she has $20 + $0.50n in her tip jar.
