Question

Latoya earns 41 dollars per week working part-time at a book store. She makes one dollar more for each book that she sells. The amount, A (in dollars), that Latoya earns in a week if she sells b books is given by the following.

A=41+b
How much does Latoya earn in a week if she sells 16 books?

Answer 1

57$

Explanation:

The equation is A= 41 + b

A represents the entire amount she makes that week.

41 is the minimum she makes every week.

b represents any books she sells which earn an extra 1 dollar.

Plug in 16 books into the equation.

A= 41+ 16

A= 57
