Answer:

The variable is the number of clothes sold 'x'.

The equation is: 118.50=100+0.25x

The number of clothes sold by Lynn are 74.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pieces of clothes sold be 'x'.

Given:

Earning of Lynn per cloth is $0.25.

Fixed earning of Lynn per day is $100

Total earning after selling 'x' clothes is $118.50.

Variable: Number of clothes 'x'.

Equation:

Earning of Lynn for 1 cloth = $0.25

∴ Earning of Lynn for 'x' clothes = 0.25\times x=0.25x

Now, total earning of Lynn is the sum of fixed earning and earning from selling 'x' clothes. Therefore,

Total earning = Fixed earning + Earning for 'x' clothes

⇒118.50=100+0.25x

Solution:

Add -100 both sides and then divide the result by 0.25 both sides. This gives,

118.50-100=100-100+0.25x\\0.25x=18.50\\x=\frac{18.50}{0.25}=74

Therefore, the number of clothes sold by Lynn are 74.
