Answer 2

$245.00

Explanation:

Randy was paid $50 for his first night in the restaurant where he works as a cashier.

He worked 30 hours the remainder of the week for $6.50 per hour.

The equation y = 6.50x + 50

y = his weekly earning

x = number of hours he worked rest of the week.

= 6.50(30) + 50

= 195 + 50

= $245

He earned $245 on his first paycheck.
