Question

4. At a shoe store, a salesperson earns a weekly salary of $150 and $2 for each pair of shoes he or she sells during the week. Using the table below, write a rule in words and as an expression.


Pairs of Shoes Sold
Total Earned
5
150 + (2 * 5)
10
150 + (2 * 10)
15
150 + (2 * 15)

Answer 1

Answer:

150 + (2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

At a shoe store a sales person earns a weekly salary = $150.

He or she also paid for the sale of each pair of shoes = $2.00

Let the number of  pairs of shoes sold be 'x'

the commission on the shoes sold = 2(x)

So the algebraic expression for her/his weekly pay would be

150 + (2x)
