Answer:
a)E=.05t +34
b)$54
c)$600
Step-by-step explanation:
a) he gets 5% of tips out of all tips people gave to the restaurant , 5% --> .05 (as a decimal) --> this is "t"
he earns an extra $34 a night of work. --> this is the constant
E= --> the total earned that night
E=.05t +34
b) simply plug in the total tip into the equation
E=.05(400) + 34
E=$54
--> he earned $54 that night
c) since we are given the total earned that night, we now plug in for y. in this case we plug "$64" for y
we find t, which is tip the restaurant was given
--> 64 = .05t +34
-34. -34
30= .05t ---> divide by .05 each side
t= $600
the restaurant was tiped 600 dollars and Alun was paid 64 dollars that night of work
hoped this helped:)
