Rashaad is a waiter at a restaurant. Each day he works, Rashaad will make a guaranteed wage of $25, however the additional amount that Rashaad earns from tips depends on the number of tables he waits on that day. From past experience, Rashaad noticed that he will get about $15 in tips for each table he waits on. How much would Rashaad expect to earn in a day on which he waits on 16 tables? How much would Rashaad expect to make in a day when waiting on tt tables?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Total earnings with 16 tables:
Total Earnings with tt tables:
Total earnings with 16 tables: $25 (guaranteed wage) + $15 (tips per table) * 16 (number of tables) = $25 + $240 = $265.
Total Earnings with tt tables: $25 (guaranteed wage) + $15 (tips per table) * tt (number of tables) = $25 + $15tt.
