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

Question

, where x
is the number of phones assembled in one day and y
is the total wages. Write your wages in dollars and cents.(1 point)
Your wages are $
.

Answer 1

To calculate your wages using the equation \( y = 0.75x + 30 \), you need to substitute \( x \) with the number of phones you assembled. In this case, \( x = 100 \).

So, substituting \( x \):

\[ y = 0.75(100) + 30 \]

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Calculate \( 0.75 \times 100 \): \[ 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]

2. Add 30 to the result: \[ 75 + 30 = 105 \]

Thus, your total wages for assembling 100 phones would be $105.00.

Your wages are $105.00.
