Answer 1

Juan works at a retail store. He earns $6 an hour plus a $5 bonus each time he gets someone to sign up for the store's credit card Write a formula that will help Juan determine how much he will earn in one week.

Let's let a = total amount earned

h = hours worked in one week

b = number of cards sold in one week

$a=6*h+5*b$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$a=(6h+5b)$ (in dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Let a = total amount earned  

Let h = hours worked in one week

Let b = number of cards sold in one week

Given is that Juan earns $6 an hour, means in total he earns = $6h$

He also gets a bonus of $5 each time he gets someone to sign up for the store's credit card, means he gets $5b$

So, total amount for the week will be = His weekly salary plus weekly bonus.

This becomes : $a=(6h+5b)$ (in dollars)

We can check the equation by taking this example.

Lets assume that Juan woks 30 hours a week and sold 3 cards.

So, as per $a=(6h+5b)$ amount becomes = $(6*30)+(5*3)$

=$180+15=195$

Thus the formula will be :  $a=(6h+5b)$ (in dollars)
