Option c is the correct answer. Sam's total earning for the day is equal to
E(n) = 2.5n + 24
Given data
Sam earning per hour = $6
Sam earning on tips per person = $2.5
Sam's total hour per day =4
Sam's daily earning excluding tips = Sam earning per hour * Sam's total hour per day
= $6 * 4 hours = $24
If n represents the number of people Sam serves that day, then Sam's earnings on tips in a day = $2.5 * n = $2.5n
The function for Sam's total earning is given by E(n)
E(n) = Sam's daily earning excluding tips + Sam's earnings on tips in a day
E(n) = $24 + $2.5n
this is re arranged as
E(n) = 2.5n + 24
Therefore we can say that Sam's total earning for the day is equal to
E(n) = 2.5n + 24
