  An employee who produces x units per hour earns an hourly wage of y = 0.85x + 8 (in dollars).  Find the hourly wage for an employee who produces 10 units per hour.

    Hourly wage earned for x units  is  y = 0.85x+8 (in dollors)

    Hourly wage earned for 10 units is y = 0.85(10)+8 (in dollors)
