Suppose that you plan on taking a summer job selling magazine subscriptions. the magazine company will pay you $ 1.25 for selling the first subscription. for each additional subscription sold, the magazine company will pay you 20 cents more than what was paid for the previous subscription. how much will you earn by selling 250 magazine subscriptions?

I would earn $51.25 for selling 250 magazines

Base pay is the constant rate paid for the first magazine sold. It is $1.25

Variable pay is the pay that depends on the total magazines sold.

Variable pay = $0.20 x magazines sold

$0.20 x 250 = $50

Total pay = base pay + variable pay

$1.25 + $50 = $51.25

Given : The magazine company will pay you $1.25 for selling the first subscription.

For each additional subscription sold, the magazine company will pay you 20 cents more than what was paid for the previous subscription.
