Question

3. FINANCIAL LITERACY In addition to his weekly salary, Ethan is paid $16 per delivery.


Last week, he made 5 deliveries, and his total pay was $215. Write a linear equation in


slope-intercept form to find Ethan's total weekly pay T if he makes d deliveries.

Answer 1

Ethan's total weekly pay T is given by T = 16d + 135.

Linear equation

Linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.

Let T represent  Ethan's total weekly pay for d deliveries.

Ethan is paid $16 per delivery. Hence:

• m = 16

He made 5 deliveries, and his total pay was $215, hence:

• 215 = 16(5) + b
• b = 135

Ethan's total weekly pay T is given by T = 16d + 135.
