Jack earns $50 for washing cars on the weekend. He makes an average of $4.25 in tips per hour. Write the function of Joe's earnings, and solve for how much he would make after 6 hours.

y = 4.25x + 50; $54.25

y = 50x + 4.25; $69.50

y = 50x + 4.25; $304.25

y = 4.25x + 50; $75.50

Question

Jack earns $50 for washing cars on the weekend. He makes an average of $4.25 in tips per hour. Write the function of Joe's earnings, and solve for how much he would make after 6 hours.

 y = 4.25x + 50; $54.25

 y = 50x + 4.25; $69.50

 y = 50x + 4.25; $304.25

 y = 4.25x + 50; $75.50

anonymous · Answer

It is actually the last one because: 
Y = 4.25(6) + 50
4.25 x 6 = 25.5
25.5 + 50 = 75.50

He makes a constant of 50 dollars, plus a variable of 4.25h where 'h' how may hours he works

$$\large y = 4.25h + 50$$

Now for working 6 hours we have

$$\large y = 4.25(6) + 50$$
$$\large y = 25.50 + 50$$
$$\large y = 75.50$$

Yes that is what I was going to say! The last one is correct because you have multiply the tips and then add it to the 50$ he made over the weekend.
