Question

Jasmine gets paid $150 each week and $55 for every laptop that she sells. Write and equation that represents her weekly income.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Every week, the given or set in stone amount of money she receives $150. So automatically, the first part of the equation is 150x, because x represents the number of weeks, and 150 is $150. So for instance, if she works for two weeks, she will earn $300. Anyway, she has an additional amount of money she gets, which is $55 for every laptop she sells. This isn't a set in stone amount of money. She might not always earn the extra $55, because she might not sell a laptop for a certain week. So, the final equation would be 150x+55. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

If x represents the number of laptops sold and y represents the total weekly income, our equation would be y = 55x + 150
