Question

Ricardo got a job selling caramel apples at the local art festival. He is paid a fixed amount of 180 per week plus 0.79 per item sold. This is represented by the equation P=0.79n+180. How much will Ricardo be paid if he sells 410 caramel apples?

Answer 1

In this case we just need to substitute n with 410
P = 0.79(410) + 180
P = 79(4.1) + 180 = 323.9 + 180
P = $503.9
