Question

You work for a manufacturing company on a production line that manufactures cell phones. You are paid $30 a day plus $0.75 for each phone that you assemble. Predict your wages if you assemble 100 phone in one day, using the equation of the trend line y=0.75x+30 , where x is the number of phones assembled in one day and y is the total wages. Write your wages in dollars and cents

Answer 1

To predict your wages for assembling 100 phones in one day, we can plug in the value of x=100 into the equation y=0.75x+30:

y = 0.75(100) + 30
y = 75 + 30
y = 105

So, your wages for assembling 100 phones in one day will be $105.
