Question

As a salesperson at Max’s Mattresses, Richard earns $250 plus $15 for each mattress he sells.  Which equation can Richard use to determine how much earnings, e, he will make after he sells, m, matresses?​

Answer 1

e = 250 + 15m

Explanation:

The earnings or "e" are determined by the solution of the $250 he's earned from the start and the $15 he earns are dependent on the amount of mattresses he's sold so "m" has to be multiplied by the 15.
