Question

Lindsay earns $10 per hour plus $3 for each subscription she sells. What will Lindsay earn for selling 12 subscriptions in an 8-hour day?

A) $76
B) $112
C) $136
D) $160

Answer 1

8x10=$80 for hours worked

12x3=$36 for subscriptions

$80+$36=$116

Answer 2

Calculating Lindsay's total earnings involves adding her hourly wage for an 8-hour day to the commission she earns from 12 subscriptions. However, while the calculated total is $116, this number does not match any of the provided multiple choice answers, indicating a possible error in the question or answer choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lindsay earns money in two ways: a fixed hourly wage and a commission per subscription sold. To calculate Lindsay's total earnings, we need to consider both components separately and then sum them.

Firstly, let's calculate Lindsay's hourly earnings:

• Hourly wage: $10/hour for 8 hours = $10 × 8 = $80

Next, let's calculate the commission from selling subscriptions:

• Commission: $3/subscription for 12 subscriptions = $3 × 12 = $36

Now, add both the hourly wage and commission to find the total earnings:

Total earnings = Hourly wage + Commission = $80 + $36 = $116

There seems to be a mismatch between the calculation result and the multiple choice options provided in the question. Lindsay will earn $116, which is not listed in the options A) $76 B) $112 C) $136 D) $160. It is possible that there is an error in the options provided or in the question itself.
