Question

An employee who produces x units per hour earns an hourly wage of y = 0.45x + 7 (in dollars). Find the hourly wage for an employee who produces 10 units per hour.

Answer 1

You are given the hourly rate as a function of units produced per hour:
f(x) = 0.45x + 7

You are given the units per hour: 10

Plug 10 in for x in the expression:
f(10) = 0.45*10 + 7
f(10) = 4.5 + 7
f(10) = 11.5 $/hour

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 Kuddos :)

Answer 3

Replace the "x" in the formula with the number 10

y=0.45 (10) +7

Do the math (multiple 0.45 by 10 and add 7) and you will have the answer.

Write is as y= {the answer you get from doing the math}

Answer 4

Just substitute the value of x ( 10 units) to the equation

y = .45x + 7
y = .45 (10) + 7
y = 4.50 + 7
y = $ 11.50 ==> he earns when producing 10 units

Answer 5

10 units = x
y = 0.45(10) + 7
y = 4.5 + 7
y = 11.5 dollars/ hour
