Calculate Guaranteed Earnings: Mikayla makes a guaranteed $50 per day. Since she works 6 days per week, we need to calculate her total guaranteed earnings for the week. Calculation: $50/day * 6 days/week = $300/weekCalculate Tips: Next, we need to calculate the tips Mikayla makes in a week. She makes tips at a rate of 20% of her weekly customer receipts, t. To represent this as a function, we need to convert the percentage to a decimal. Calculation: 20% = 20/100 = 0.2Write the Total Earnings Function: Now we can write the function that represents Mikayla's total earnings for the week. This function will include her guaranteed earnings plus her tips, which is 0.2 times her weekly customer receipts, t. Calculation: f(t) = guaranteed earnings + tips f(t) = $300 + 0.2t
