Question

Jason makes $7 per hour picking up trash. His boss offers to pay him an additional $45 a week for sorting the recycling after work. What are the parameters in this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

The parameters are 7 and 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's model the situation.

Let h be the number of hours Jason worked in a week.

Then, his total income is calculated as follows

His hourly charges = $7

Number of hours worked = h

So, hourly charges for the hours he worked = 7h

Additional income offered by his boss = 45

So, his total income per week = 7h + 45

Here, 7, the hourly charge and 45, the additional income are the parameters.
