Question

Steven works at the Pi Day food truck and he gets paid $9 per hour x. If 1 point

last night he made $30 in tips, find his total pay equation p(x). (Standard 5-
HSF-IF.A.2) *
p(x)=9+30x
p(x)=39x
p(x)=39+x
p(x)=9x+30

Answer 1

P(x) =9x +30

the tips are a flat rate so it’s a constant 30 while the 9 per hour is dependent on the hours worked which is why it is attached to x as a coefficient
