juan works at a retail store. he earns $6 an hour plus $5 bonus each time he gets someone to sign up for the store's credit card. write a formula that will help juan determine how much he will earn in one week
a=total amount earned
h=hours worked in one week
b=number of cards sold in one week
Function of "a" = total amount earned
h = hours worked, $6 per hour times number of hours.
b = number of bonus's, $5 per bonus.
One way to set up an equation to capture all of these variables:
a=6h+5b
