Question

Hester sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $15 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Hester sells 15 televisions with extended​ warranties, she earns $1,275. How much is the fixed amount Hester earns for each​ television?

Answer 1

Answer: $\ 70$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hester get a fixed amount and an additional $15 for an extended warranty

Suppose x is the amount of fixed amount

for 15 television sale, the price is $1275

Thus, we can write

$\Rightarrow 15(x+15)=1275\\\Rightarrow x+15=85\\\Rightarrow x=\ 70$

Therefore, the fixed amount of television is $\ 70$
