Ok we are asked to find the hourly wage for an employee
who produces 14 units per hour.
We are given the formula to calculate hourly wage:
y=0.85x%2B12
y is the hourly wage
x is the number of units produced in an hour
So to find the hourly wage for 14 units per hour just replace
the x in the formula with 14 and perform the necessary operations.
y=0.85x%2B12
y=0.85%2814%29%2B12
y=11.90%2B12
y=23.90
Answer: The hourly wage for an employee who produces 14 units per hour is $23.90
