A manuscript translator charges a standing fee of $50 plus $2.50 per page translated. write a linear equation for the amount A earned for translating P pages​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The linear equation is;

A=50+2.5 P

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the total amount earned for translating a given number of pages can be expressed as;

A=S+RP

where;

A=amount earned

S=standing fee

R=rate per page

P=number of pages

In our case;

A=unknown

S=$50

R=$2.50

P=unknown

replacing;

A=50+(2.5×P)

A=50+2.5 P

The linear equation for the amount earned is;

A=50+2.5 P
