Question

Employees at an antique store are hired at a wage of $15 per hour, and they get a $0.75

raise each year. Naomi makes $20.25 per hour working at the store. How long has she
worked there?

Answer 1

7 years

Explanation:

Since employees are hired at the wage of $15, we can subtract that

20.25-15=5.25

And given they receive an annual increase of $0.75

we can divide by 0.75

5.25/0.75=7

Answer 2

0.75x + 15

I hope this helps.
