kayla works at a coffee shop, and yesterday she earned $6.25 an hour plus $8.50 in tips. Let x represent the number of hours worked and y represent the total amount earned

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

amount of money earned per hour= $6.25

amount of money made in tips= $8.5

if x represents the number of hours worked and

y represents the total amount earned

The linear function for the total is expressed as

y=mx+c

Step two:

Hence for the situation given the expression for the total is

y=6.25x+8.5

Say Kayla worked for 2 hours

that is x=2, the total she would have earned is

y=6.25(2)+8.5

y=12.5+8.5

y=21

For a 2 hour work, Kayla will make $21
