Explanation:

Sales Geet sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $15 if the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Geet sells 17 televisions with extended​ warranties, he earns $1,105. How much is the fixed amount Geet earns for each​ television?

Let the fixed amount Geet earns for each television = x

Hence:

$1105 = $15 + 7x

Collect like terms

$1105 - $15 = 7x

$1090 = 7x

x = $1090/7

x = $155.71428571

Approximately = $155.71

Therefore, the amount he earns for each Television = $155.71
