The expression 18h + 100p represents the amount (in dollars) that an insurance salesperson earns for working h hours and selling p policies. How much does the salesperson earn for working 10 hours and selling 3 policies?
(18 * 10) + (100 * 3) =
To find out how much the salesperson earns, we need to substitute the given values into the expression 18h + 100p.
Step 1: Substitute the value of h into the expression. Since the salesperson worked for 10 hours, we replace h with 10: 18(10) + 100p.
Step 2: Simplify the expression. Multiplying 18 by 10 gives us 180: 180 + 100p.
Step 3: Substitute the value of p into the expression. Since the salesperson sold 3 policies, we replace p with 3: 180 + 100(3).
Step 4: Simplify the expression. Multiplying 100 by 3 gives us 300: 180 + 300.
Step 5: Add the two terms together to get the final answer: 180 + 300 = 480.
Therefore, the salesperson earns $480 for working 10 hours and selling 3 policies.
