Answer:

The fixed amount Geet earns for each television is $60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Geet sells televisions. He earns a fixed amount for each television and an additional $ 30 if the buyer gets an extended warranty.

If Geet sells 17 televisions with extended​ warranties, he earns $ 1,530.

Now, to find the fixed amount Geet earns for each television.

Let the cost of fixed amount be [tex]x[/tex].

Number of television = 17.

He earns total = $1,530.

He earns additional amount = $30.

Now, to get the fixed amount we put an equation:

[tex]17(x+30)=1530[/tex]

[tex]17x+510=1530[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by 510 we get:

[tex]17x=1020[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 17 we get:

[tex]x=60.[/tex]

Therefore, the fixed amount Geet earns for each television is $60.
