Rich’s weekly salary is based on the number of pairs of shoes he sells. He is paid a base salary of $25, plus $5 for every pair of shoes he sells. The relationship between his pay (p) and pairs of shoes (s) sold can be represented by the linear equation p = 25 +5s. Determine Rich’s pay for a week in which he sold 7 pairs of shoes.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

p = 25 + 5s

s = amount of shoes sold

Rich sold 7 shoes. Plug in 7 for s

p = 25 + 5(7)

p = 25 + 35

p = 60

Answer: the correct answer is a. $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula that states Rich's weekly salary

P= 25 + 5s , where p is the salary and s the number of pairs sold, then

P= $25 + $5*7

P=$25 + $ 35

P= $ 60
