Question 14

Jabar earns $5 for the first 10 pounds of newspaper he recycles, then $0.25 for each additional pound. Which expression represents the amount he earns for recycling p pounds of newspaper if p > 10?

a. 5+0.25 (p-10)

b. (5 +0.25) P

c. 5 +0.25p

d.5 (10) +0.25p

Answer:

5 (10) +0.25p

Explanation:

Let the number of additional pounds = x

Hence:

Jabar earns $5 for the first 10 pounds of newspaper he recycles, then $0.25 for each additional pound.

The statement above is represented as:

$5 × 10 + $0.25 ×p

= 5(10) + 0.25(p)

Therefore, the expression that represents the amount he earns for recycling p pounds of newspaper if p > 10 is written as

5(10) + 0.25(p)

Option d is the correct option
