5d%2B2 ----> working eqn
We represent d as no. of days.
Problem: Harry's pay rate is $5.00/day and he worked 5 days for the last week plus commission of $2.00 every week. How much his pay for the past week?
Via working eqn: 5d%2B2, where d=5days
So,
5%2A5%2Bhighlight%282%29=25%2Bhighlight%282%29=$27.00 pay for the week. Highlighted is commission.
Thank you,
