Letter "E" represents the total earnings, and letter "T'' represents the toy sales. A toy company pays toy inventors $5,000 plus 2% of the toy sales. Which equation shows how much an inventor earns? e=5000+0.02t e=5000.02t e=5000*0.02t e=5000/(0.02t)

Do you know how to start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, You know that the total equals e, and t is for the toys and 2% for the toys, So that would only be the first equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e=5000+0.02t?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was that too, but i doubted myself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2%= .02. Now when you multiply .02t and add to that an additional 5000, you get 5000+.02t= e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
