Question

Kala earns 41 dollars each week working part-time at a bookstore. She earns one additional dollar for each book that she sells.

Let A be the amount (in dollars) that Kala earns in a week if she sells B books.
Write an equation relating A to B. Then use this equation to find the amount of money Kala earns if she sells 14 books.
Equation:
Amount Kala earns if she sells 14 books: dollars

Answer 1

A = 41+B

A = 55

Explanation:

A be the amount (in dollars) that Kala earns in a week

B = books sold

Kala earns 41 dollars each week working part-time at a bookstore. This does not depend on selling any books

She earns 1 dollar for each book sold

A = 41+B*1

A = 41+B

Let B = 14

A = 41+14

A = 55

Answer 2

Equation: A = 41 + B

Amount Kala earns if she sells 14 books: 55 dollars

Explanation:

A = 41 + B

B = 14

A = 41 + 14

A = 55
