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 12 h+30 w , where h h is the number of hours worked and w w is the number of wagons sold. What is the amount, in dollars, paid to an employee who works 66 hours and sells 33 wagons?
  1. Identify Given Values: Identify the given values for the variables in the expression.\newlineWe are given that hh (hours worked) is 66 and ww (wagons sold) is 33. We need to substitute these values into the expression 12h+30w12h + 30w to find the total amount paid to the employee.
  2. Substitute Values: Substitute the given values into the expression.\newlineThe expression for the amount paid is 12h+30w12h + 30w. Substituting the given values, we get 12(6)+30(3)12(6) + 30(3).
  3. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.\newlineNow we calculate each term separately:\newline12(6)=7212(6) = 72\newline30(3)=9030(3) = 90
  4. Add Results: Add the results of the multiplication to find the total amount paid.\newlineAdding the two amounts together gives us 72+9072 + 90.
  5. Calculate Final Amount: Calculate the final amount paid to the employee. \newline72+90=16272 + 90 = 162\newlineSo, the total amount paid to the employee is $162\$162.
