Bella is paid $35 for selling tickets at Henderson High School football games plus $1 for each program that she sells. Arun is paid $25 for selling tickets at Middletown High School football games plus $1 for each program that he sells. Bella sold 40 programs and Arun sold 65 programs at Saturday’s game. Which of the following correctly compares these additive linear relationships?
Arun earned 15$ more
Bella earned 10$ more
Arun earned 10$ more
Bella earned 15$ more
To find the total earnings for Bella, we multiply the number of programs sold (40) by the price per program ($1) and then add the base pay of $35.
Bella's earnings = ($1 per program) * (40 programs) + $35 = $40 + $35 = $75
To find the total earnings for Arun, we do the same calculation but with his number of programs sold (65).
Arun's earnings = ($1 per program) * (65 programs) + $25 = $65 + $25 = $90
Comparing their earnings, we see that Arun earned $90 while Bella earned $75.
Therefore, Arun earned $15 more than Bella.
The correct answer is: Arun earned $15 more.
