Question

Your summer job pays $8.25 per hour and you must pay for a company shirt that costs $15. If your work x hours per week, how much will you make during a week?

Answer 1

8.25x - 15 dollars

Explanation:

Without paying for the company shirt, you would make 8.25 * x = $8.25x. Spending $15 can be modeled by the number -15 so including the company shirt, you would make $(8.25x - 15) per week.
