Question

When Joseph first starts working at a grocery store, his hourly rate is $10. For each year he works at the grocery store, his hourly rate increases by $0.50. Joseph's hourly rate R, in dollars is a function of T, the number of years he works at the grocery store.

Answer 1

Answer: R(t) = 10 + 0.50t

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we've been informed that Joseph's hourly rate is $10 and that for every year he works at the grocery store, his hourly rate increases by $0.50.

Therefore, the function will be

R(t) = 10 + 0.50t
