Question

A company uses the formula below to determine the salary offered to a potential employee, where s is the salary and y is the number of years of experience the potential employee has. s = 1,856y + 45,005 What salary would be offered to a potential employee with 10 years of experience?

Answer 1

$63,565

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the equation provided to us:

`s = 1,856y + 45,005`

We are solving for 10 years of experience so for y, we plug in 10 as shown below. Now lets solve for s:

`s = 1,856(10) + 45,005` Multiply 1,856 by 10

`s=18,560+45,005` Add the two numbers

`s=63,565`

The salary offered to a potential employee with 10 years of experience is $63,565
