Question

Angela delivers packages. She earns $500 per week plus $3 for each package she delivers. The expression 500 + 3p gives in the amount in dollars that Angela earns for delivering p packages. How much will angela earn if she delivers 35 packages in one week?

Answer 1

The amount earned by delivering 35 packages in a week by Angela is $605

Here, we want to get the amount that will be earned by Angela given that she delivered 35 packages that week

To get this, we simply substitute the number of packages into the equation that represents the expression in which we can calculate

Thus, mathematically, we have this as;

`500\text{ + 3p = 500 + 3(35) = 500 + 105 = 605 dollars}`
