Answer: Equation for total cost: T = $25 + 0.04E
Cost of a client who earns $1500 = $85
Step-by-step explanation:
Let E = earning in the first month
Commission (c) = 0.04 (4%) × E
Total cost will be the addition of $25 fixed amount and commission
Therefore, an equation that will represent total cost of finding a job through the hotline will be:
T = $25 + 0.04E
The cost of a client whose first month earnings is $1500 will be
T = $25 + 0.04 ($1500)
T = $25 + $60 = $85
