Question

 Its a math word problem need help on it.

Answer 1

Hi Ke, if you are looking for Liz's income for the week, the equation would be: Wages = 400 + .07x.

 

If she sold 20,000 worth of equipment, you would have:

 

Wages = 400 + .07*20000, or

 

Wages = 400 + 1400

 

Wages = 1800

 

Liz's wages for the week would be $1800.
