Question

A company uses the formula below to determine the salary offered to a potential employee, where s is the salary and y is the number of years of experience the potential employee has. s = 1,856y + 45,005 What salary would be offered to a potential employee with 10 years of experience?

Answer 1

Answer:

$63,565

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the equation provided to us:

$s = 1,856y + 45,005$

We are solving for 10 years of experience so for y, we plug in 10 as shown below. Now lets solve for s:

$s = 1,856(10) + 45,005$    Multiply 1,856 by 10

$s=18,560+45,005$        Add the two numbers

$s=63,565$

The salary offered to a potential employee with 10 years of experience is $63,565
