Part A
Question
Which equation in the form y = mx + cs models Emma’s situation?

y = 20x + 0.15
y = 20x + 15
y = 20x + 0.15s
y = 20x + 15s

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 20x + 0.15s

Step-by-step explanation:

Shew makes $20 par hour, so for x hours, she makes 20x.

She makes 15% commission on the sales, s. 15% = 0.15,so for the sales, s, she makes 15% * s = 0.15s.

The total she makes is 20x + 0.15s

Answer: y = 20x + 0.15s
