Aworker on the production line is paid a base salary of $230.00 per week plus $0.78 for each unit produced. write an equation to represent her earnings of $446.84 for a week when she produced x units. how many units did she produce? use pencil and paper. if the worker had produced twice that number of units, what would his earnings have been? here is what it should look like, 446.84=230+.78x how many units did they make

(a)

We are given

A worker on the production line is paid a base salary of $230.00 per week

so, base salary =230

Let's assume number pencils produced as x

plus $0.78 for each unit produced

now, we can find equation for earnings

now, we are given

her earnings of $446.84 for a week when she produced x units

so, we can set E(x)=446.84

and then we can solve for x

so, number of pencils = 278........Answer

(b)

If the worker had produced twice that number of units

so, number of pencils =2*278=556

now, we can find earnings

now, we can plug x=556

.................Answer
