Grace is a waitress at a restaurant. Each day she works, Grace will make a guaranteed wage of $25, however the additional amount that Grace earns from tips depends on the number of tables she waits on that day. From past experience, Grace noticed that she will get about $5 in tips for each table she waits on. How much would Grace expect to earn in a day on which she waits on 20 tables? How much would Grace expect to make in a day when waiting on tt tables?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Total earnings with 20 tables:
Total earnings with tt tables:
Total earnings with 20 tables: $25 (guaranteed wage) + $5 (tip per table) x 20 (number of tables) = $25 + $100 = $125
Total earnings with tt tables: $25 (guaranteed wage) + $5 (tip per table) x tt (number of tables) = $25 + $5tt
