Question

Mark works at a popular electronics retail store. He earns a fixed income of $18 an hour and a 5% commission on the sales he makes. Let's say, y = earnings h = number of hours worked s = amount of sales Which of these equations correctly indicates how much Mark earns in a day?

Answer 1

y is equal to 18h plus 0.05s

y = 18h + 0.05s

Answer 2

`y=18h+0.05s`

Explanation:

Let's say, y = earnings

h = number of hours worked

s = amount of sales

Mark works at a popular electronics retail store. He earns a fixed income of $18 an hour and a 5% commission on the sales he makes.

Earnings will be the fixed pay plus the commission earned.

So, we have the equation;

`y=18h+0.05s`
