Khamis earns 55dollars per week working part-time at a book store. He makes one dollar more for each book that he sells. The amount, A (in dollars), that Khamis earns in a week if he sells b books is given by the following function.
A(b)=55+6
How much does Khamis earn in a week if he sells 32 books?
It is not
A(b)=55+6
It is
A(b)=55 + 6*b
so
A(32) = 55 + 6*32
one dollar more for each book that he sells
means that A(b) = 55+b
"math" needs to learn the difference between "6" and "b"
To find out how much Khamis earns in a week if he sells 32 books, we can plug the value of 32 into the function A(b) and simplify it.
The given function A(b) = 55 + 6 tells us that Khamis earns a base amount of $55 per week, and then an additional $6 for each book he sells (b).
To calculate the amount Khamis earns if he sells 32 books, we need to substitute b = 32 into the function:
A(32) = 55 + 6 * 32
Now we can simplify the expression:
A(32) = 55 + 192
Adding 55 and 192 together gives us:
A(32) = 247
Therefore, Khamis will earn $247 in a week if he sells 32 books.
