Question

Robin works as a customer service representative. She knows that the amount in dollars of her yearly bonus is represented by the expression - 2.5x + 747, where x is the number of complaints customers had about her during the year. To find her bonus if she gets 20 complaints, she substitutes 20 for x. What should be her next step? What would her bonus be? What should be her next step?

Answer 1

Robin is right, she must substitute 20 for x, her next step should be calculating her yearly bonus by solving

`\begin{gathered} -2.5x+747 \\ -2.5\cdot(20)+747 \\ -50+747=697 \end{gathered}`

Her bonus is $697
