Question

An employee's hourly wage is $17.50 per hour plus $0.75 for each of the q units produced during the hour. Write an algebraic expression that represents the employee's total hourly earnings.

Answer 1

$=.75q+17.50h
(Don’t use the money sign, I just didn’t know what veritable to use. E maybe, for earnings)

Answer 2

The algebraic expression that represents the employee's total hourly earnings is S = 17.50 + 0.75q.

SOLUTION:

Given, an employee's hourly wage is $17.50 per hour.

Along with $0.75 for each of the q units produced during the hour.

We need to write an equation that represents the employee’s total hourly earnings.

Let, the total earnings of employee in an hour be S.

Then, S = employee's hourly wage + amount for produced units.

S = 17.50 + 0.75
`*` number of units produced.

S = 17.50 + 0.75
`*` q units

S = 17.50 + 0.75q

Hence, an algebraic expression that represents the employee's total hourly earnings is S = 17.50 + 0.75q.
