Question

Micha works at a sporting goods store. He is paid $8.25 per hour plus double time on holidays and makes an average of 8% commission on all golfing equipment sales. This is modeled by the expression 8.25(x) + 8.25(2)(y) + 0.08(z). What is Micha's gross pay if he worked 15 regular hours and 4 holiday hours and had $562.00 in golf equipment sales. (1 point)

$153.00

$229.75

$234.71

$361.06

Answer 1

Answer/ Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is $234.71.

To calculate Micha's gross pay, we need to substitute the given values into the expression 8.25(x) + 8.25(2)(y) + 0.08(z), where x represents regular hours, y represents holiday hours, and z represents golf equipment sales.

1. Regular hours: Micha worked 15 regular hours, so we substitute x = 15 into the expression: 8.25(15) = 123.75.

2. Holiday hours: Micha worked 4 holiday hours, so we substitute y = 4 into the expression: 8.25(2)(4) = 66.

3. Golf equipment sales: Micha had $562.00 in golf equipment sales, so we substitute z = 562 into the expression: 0.08(562) = 44.96.

Now, we can calculate Micha's gross pay by adding up the results from the above calculations:

123.75 + 66 + 44.96 = 234.71.

Therefore, Micha's gross pay is $234.71.
