11 12 13 14 15 16 18 19 20 17 of 20 A pizza delivery man makes $50 per shift. For every pizza delivered he earns an additional $3.00 tip. Create an equation to describe how much money he would make in one shift for an unknown value of pizza's delivered. Write the equation for this problem in function notation. Then interpret how much money he would make in one shift after delivering 16 pizzas. Make sure to define your variables and show all of your work.

Answer 1

The earning per shift for an unknown value of pizza's delivered = 50 + 3x

f(x) = 3x + 50

the total money he would make in the shift is $98

Explanation:

Payment per shift = $50

Tip per pizza delivered = $3

let the number of pizzas delivered = x

The equation: The earning per shift = Payment per shift + Tip per pizza delivered × number of pizzas delivered

The equation:

The earning per shift for an unknown value of pizza's delivered = 50 + 3x

Function notation:

let f(x) = The earning per shift

f(x) = 3x + 50

after delivering 16 pizzas in a shift:

x = 16 pizzas

The earning per shift for 16 pizzas delivered= 50 + 3(16) = 50 + 48 = 98

Hence, the total money he would make in the shift is $98
