Q. Lois and Clark own a company that sells wagons. The amount, in dollars, they pay each of their sales employees is given by the expression 12h+30w, where h is the number of hours worked and w is the number of wagons sold. What is the amount, in dollars, paid to an employee who works 6 hours and sells 3 wagons?
Identify Given Values: Identify the given values for the variables in the expression.We are given that h (hours worked) is 6 and w (wagons sold) is 3. We need to substitute these values into the expression 12h+30w to find the total amount paid to the employee.
Substitute Values: Substitute the given values into the expression.The expression for the amount paid is 12h+30w. Substituting the given values, we get 12(6)+30(3).
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Now we calculate each term separately:12(6)=7230(3)=90
Add Results: Add the results of the multiplication to find the total amount paid.Adding the two amounts together gives us 72+90.
Calculate Final Amount: Calculate the final amount paid to the employee. 72+90=162So, the total amount paid to the employee is $162.
