Question

Nate has a part-time job at the car wash. He earns $13 an hour, and he gets a weekly bonus of $100 if the business meets the quota of cars for the week. Assuming Nate gets his bonus, write a linear equation in slope-intercept form to represent how much Nate will get paid for the week if he works X hours over the week. Let y represent the amount he gets paid for the week and x represent the number of hours he works for the week. (1 point)
y = 13x + 100
y= 13x
y = 100x + 13
13x - y=-100

Answer 1

y = 13x + 100

Explanation: He earns $13 per hour, so 13x, plus the $100 weekly bonus gives 13x + 100.
