Answer 1

Juan works at a retail store. He earns $6 an hour plus a $5 bonus each time he gets someone to sign up for the store's credit card Write a formula that will help Juan determine how much he will earn in one week.

Let's let a = total amount earned

h = hours worked in one week

b = number of cards sold in one week


`a=6*h+5*b`

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`a=(6h+5b)` (in dollars)

Explanation:

As given,

Let a = total amount earned

Let h = hours worked in one week

Let b = number of cards sold in one week

Given is that Juan earns $6 an hour, means in total he earns =
`6h`

He also gets a bonus of $5 each time he gets someone to sign up for the store's credit card, means he gets
`5b`

So, total amount for the week will be = His weekly salary plus weekly bonus.

This becomes :
`a=(6h+5b)` (in dollars)

We can check the equation by taking this example.

Lets assume that Juan woks 30 hours a week and sold 3 cards.

So, as per
`a=(6h+5b)` amount becomes =
`(6*30)+(5*3)`

=
`180+15=195`

Thus the formula will be :
`a=(6h+5b)` (in dollars)
