Question

Neda sells televisions. She earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $15 if

the buyer gets an extended warranty. If Neda sells 19 televisions with extended warranties, she
earns $1,615. How much is the fixed amount Neda earns for each television?

Answer 1

Answer: $70

Explanation:

Since Neda sells televisions, and she earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 15 if the buyer gets an extended warranty, if Neda sold 19 televisions with extended warranties and earned $ 1,615, to determine how much is the fixed amount Neda earns for each television must perform the following calculation:

(19 x 15) + X = 1615

285 + X = 1615

After this step, you can see that the x is already isolated and no number next to it. This is a good thing because you only need to subtract 285 on both sides.

x = 1330

Then...

1330/19 = 70.
Thus, the fixed amount Neda receives for each television is $70.
