She earns one additional dollar for each book that she sells.Let A be the amount (in dollars) that Rachel earns in a week If she sells B books.Write an equation relating A to B. Then use this equation to find the amount of money Rachel earns if she sells 23 books.Equation: 0DOO=0Amount Rachel earns if she sells 23 books: [ dollarsХ5? ?

Answer 1

So,

We know that Rachel earns 51 dollars each week.

We know that She earns one additional dollar for each book that she sells. So, we can write:

`A=51+B`

Where A is the amount of dollars and B is the number of books She sells in a week, which is equal to the number extra dollars that She earns.

If she sells 23 books, then She earns:

`\begin{gathered} A=51+23 \\ A=74 \end{gathered}`

She earns 74 dollars if she sells 23 books in a week.
