Henry receives a flat rate of $90 per day and can earn a $2.50 commission for each computer repair (r) he performs. Yolanda receives a flat rate of $75 per day and can earn $5.25 per computer sale (s) she makes. Which system of linear equations models their earnings? A. H=75+2.50r Y=90+5.25s B. H=2.50r-90 Y=5.25s+75 C. H=90+2.50r Y=75+5.25s D. H=90-2.50r Y=75-5.25s

Think you can help me with this? @hennawho

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The r and the s are the number of repairs done by Henry and Yolande Thus , Henry earns 2.50r dollars if he does r repairs

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So the equation for Henry must contain + 2.50r

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

So its A or C?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Also note that for Henry the flat rate is $90

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Yes A or C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The sign must be + because the commission is in addition to the flat rate. Follow?

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

I would say C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So which one is it

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

c?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Correct be.cause Henrys a,mounts are 90 and 2.50r

OpenStudy (lilkg77):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So it H = 90 + 2.50 A is 75 + 2.5r
