Question

Anna and Jason have summer jobs stuffing envelopes for two different companies. Anna earns $14 for every 400 envelopes she finishes. Jason earns $9 for every 300 envelopes he finishes.

What is an equation that can represent ANNA's earnings? (Let Y represent how much money she earns and X represent the number of envelopes

Answer 1

y = (x/400)*14

Explanation:

y= how much money Anna earns

x= number the envelopes stuffed

(x/400) = how many $14 will get

y = (x/400)*14

Check or equation:

if Anna stuffs 400 envelopes then x= 400

the earns money y is y = (x/400)*14

y = (400/400)*14= 1*14 = $14 ✅

if Anna stuffs 800 envelopes then x= 800

the earns money y is y = (x/400)*14

y = (800/400)*14= 2*14 = $28 ✅
