Answer 1

Answer: 20 complaints, would be $891

Explanation:

To find Stan's bonus if he gets 20 complaints, you should substitute 20 for x in the expression -2.5x + 941 and then calculate it.

Here's the calculation:

Bonus = -2.5x + 941

Now, substitute x with 20:

Bonus = -2.5(20) + 941

Now, perform the calculation:

Bonus = -50 + 941

Bonus = 891

So, Stan's bonus, if he gets 20 complaints, would be $891.
