Question

A data systems specialist makes $27 an hour for the first 40 hours she works

during a week and $35 an hour for each hour over 40 hours. Which piecewise
equation models her total weekly pay y in dollars as it relates to the number
of hours x that she has worked during the week?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

If 0<= x <= 40, then y = 27x

If x > 40,

First we have to calculate for first hours.So, it is 27*40 = 1080

Remaining hours = (x - 40)

Amount made in (x - 40)hours = 35*(x-40)

So, y = 35(x-40) + 1080
