Marques is a waiter at a restaurant. Each day he works, Marques will make a guaranteed wage of $25, however the additional amount that Marques earns from tips depends on the number of tables he waits on that day. From past experience, Marques noticed that he will get about $14 in tips for each table he waits on. How much would Marques expect to earn in a day on which he waits on 17 tables? How much would Marques expect to make in a day when waiting on tt tables?

The amount he will get on that day = the guaranteed wage + the amount of table he waits x 14

So, Marques expect to make 25 + 14 x 17 = 25 + 238 = $263
