Part 1
Sales Geet sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $20 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Geet sells 13 televisions with extended​ warranties, he earns $1,105. How much is the fixed amount Geet earns for each​ television?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's say the fixed amount Geet earns for each television is "x".

Then, for each television sold with an extended warranty, Geet earns x + $20.

So, for the 13 televisions sold with extended warranties, Geet earns a total of 13(x + $20) = 13x + $260.

We know that Geet earned $1,105 in total, so we can set up the following equation:

13x + $260 = $1,105

Solving for x, we can simplify the equation as follows:

13x = $1,105 - $260

13x = $845

x = $65

Therefore, the fixed amount Geet earns for each television is $65.
