Data
• $4.55 per hour
,• Earns an average of 19 tips (assuming that the tips are in dollars).
Procedure
To identify the algebraic expression, we have to identify the variable earn (the quantity that depends on something) and the fixed (the one that is mostly constant).
Based on the information given, we can assume that the variable quantity is $4.55, as it depends on the time, and the fixed is $19. Thus, the algebraic expression can be written as follows:
[tex]E=4.55t+19[/tex]where E represents the earnings and t represents the time.
Answer:
[tex]E=4.55t+19[/tex]
