Question

in 2020 that our minimum wage for a city of Norwalk work is $10.20 supposedly the hourly minimum wage in the state with raised by $ 0.38 per year. write a formula to model that Norway hourly minimum wage ,W will be T years after 2020.

Answer 1

In 2020, the minimum wage is $10.20. According to the problem, in 2021 the minimum wage is expected to be $10.20+$0.38=$10.58. Similarly, in 2022 the minimum wage will be $10.58+$0.38=$10.96.

Then, the equation that gives us the hourly minimum wage is

`W=10.20+0.38T,T=1,2,3,\ldots`

The equation is W=10.20+0.38*T
