Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first 30 hours, Andrew will earn 4(30) = $120.  For each additional hour beyond 30 that Andrew works, he will earn 5(h - 30).  Therefore, the function that gives Andrew's total wages when he works more than 30 hours is:

 

w = 120 + 5(h - 30).  

 

So, if he works 35 hours, he will earn:

 

120 + 5(35 - 30) = 120 + 5(5) = 120 + 25 = $145.

 

If he works 42 hours, he will earn:

 

120 + 5(42 - 30) = 120 + 5(12) = 120 + 60 = $180.

 

I hope this helps!
