Question

Answer 1

The problem can be written as

e=6.50x+0.04y

Answer 2

The required equation is
`e=6.50x+0.04y`

Explanation:

We are given that,

The number of hours Mike works = x

The number of total sales he has = y (in dollars)

Now, Mike earns $6.50 per hour.

So, the total amount Mike earns after working 'x' hours =
`6.50x` dollars.

Also, he earns 4% of the total sales.

Amount earned by Mike from the total sales = 4% of 'y' =
`0.04y`

Thus, the total earnings of Mike is given by,

Total earnings = Earnings per hour + Earnings through sale

i.e.
`e=6.50x+0.04y`

The required equation is
`e=6.50x+0.04y`
