Question

An employee who produces x units per hour earns an hourly wage of y = 0.55x + 7 (in dollars). Find the hourly wage for an employee who produces 13 units per hour.

Answer 1

That's easy, you just plug in 13 for x and solve for y

Answer 2

Units produced per hour = x
hourly wage = y

y= 0.55x + 7

If employee produces 13 units per hour then it follows that x=13
Which means the hourly rate given as y is:

y= 0.55 (13) +7
y= 7.15 + 7
y= 14.15

The hourly rate of the employee is $14.15 per hour

Answer 3

x units per hour earns an hourly wage of

y = 0.55x + 7
-7 -7
7=0.55x

x+7/o.55
=12.72
y=12.72(o.55)+7
y=6.96+7
rounded off =14
y = 0.55x + 7
x=12.7 y=14
14=.55(12.7)+7

Answer 4

y=.55(13)+7=14.15 dollars per hour

Answer 5

$14.15
