Question

Madelyn is a waitress at a restaurant. Each day she works, Madelyn will make a guaranteed wage of $20, however the additional amount that Madelyn earns from tips depends on the number of tables she waits on that day. From past experience, Madelyn noticed that she will get about $8 in tips for each table she waits on. How much would Madelyn expect to earn in a day on which she waits on 18 tables? How much would Madelyn expect to make in a day when waiting on t tables?

Answer 1

The answer would be 20 + 8 x 18 = 164

Explanation:

She makes 20 dollars no matter what so keep that aside..

She gets 8 dollars for a tip per table.If she collects tips from 18 tables, it would be 8 x 18 = 144

Then add the 20 from before to get 164
