Andrew is paid 4$ per hour for the first 30 hours he works each week. He makes 5$ per hour for each hour he works over 30 hours per week. In other words, total wages=fixed wages for 30 hours + additional wages at 5$ per hour. Write a function that gives Andrews total wages when he works more than 30 hours

Julianne Anderson · Answer 1

Because the first wage is determined, here's the start of our sentence:

4 (30)

Now, we know that any number above thirty turns into $5 an hour, so:

4 (30) + 5 (h - 30)

h represents hours, but because he only gets 5 an hour for his work above 30 hours, we must subtract five from the sentence.

So the function:

f (h) = 4 (30) + 5 (h - 30)

Or, simpler:

f (h) = 5h - 30

Nobel · Answer 2

F (x) = 4 + 5x

this is like a linear equation but you replace y with f of x

4 is the money he make the first 30 hrs and the 5 is the 5 dollars and x is the number of hours
