Question

Bo earns $8.95 per hour plus commission. Last week, he worked 32 hours and earned $28.75 in commission. How much money did bo earn last week

Answer 1

Let x equal the number of hours worked and y = the total money earned.

 

That makes the equation:  y = 8.95x + commission

 

So:  y = 8.95(32) + 28.75.

 

Solve for y.
