Question

A student gets paid to sell food and drinks at the school play during intermission. he earns an hourly rate of $12, plus an extra $0.50 for each bakery item he sells and $0.25 for each drink he sells. if h = hours, b = bakery items, and d = drinks, what function can he use to calculate his earnings?

Answer 1

So basically its asking you to create an equation so he can take
the amount of bakery goods sold (b)
the amount of drinks sold (d)
and the hours he worked (h)
and put them into an equation and get the answer.

the equation is this
Y=(12H) + (0.5B) + (0.25D)

Answer 2

A function that he can use to calculate his total earnings is given by $ (12h + 0.50b + 0.25d), where h = hours, b = bakery items, and d = drinks

Explanation:

According to question given,

A student gets paid to sell food and drinks at the school play during intermission

Consider, h = hours, b = bakery items, and d = drinks

Hourly rate of the student = $12

So , if he sells for h hours, he will earn $12x

also, he earns an extra $0.50 for each bakery item he sells so if he sells b bakery items then he will earn $0.50b

also, he earns an extra $0.25 for each drink he sells so if he sells d drinks then he will earn $0.25d

We need to find a function that he can use to calculate his total earnings,

Total earnings = Total hours he sell food + total earning he earns by selling extra bakery item and drinks.

Total earnings = $ (12h + 0.50b + 0.25d)

Thus, A function that he can use to calculate his total earnings is given by $ (12h + 0.50b + 0.25d), where h = hours, b = bakery items, and d = drinks
