Answer:

  A) t = 0.25c +25

  B) c = 52

  C) 3 weekday shifts

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The amount Ella earns is $0.25 per cupcake, so for c cupcakes, that is ...

  0.25c

In addition, she is paid $25, so her total amount she is paid is ...

  t = 0.25c +25

__

B. In order to earn $38, the number of cupcakes sold must be ...

  38 = 0.25c +25

  13 = 0.25c . . . . . . subtract 25

  52 = c . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

Ella sold 52 cupcakes to earn $38.

__

C. On one of the average weekdays, Ella could be expected to earn ...

  t = 0.25(36) +25 = 34

Then for 3 weekday shifts, her earnings would be 3($34) = $102. (It would take Ella 3 weeks to earn $300.)

On one of the average weekend shifts, Ella could be expected to earn ...

  t = 0.25(62) +25 = 40.50

Then for 2 weekend shifts, her earnings would be 2($40.50) = $81. (It would take Ella 4 weekends to earn $300.)

Ella would earn $300 more quickly by working weekday shifts.
