A medical secretary maintains the accounts and writes the paychecks for a medical office complex. There are 36 people on the payroll. Eight people earn $10 per hour, eleven people earn $15 per hour, four people earn $18 per hour, six people earn $21 per hour, and seven people earn $26 per hour. If everyone works 40 hours per week, what is the total amount of money needed for the payroll each week?

$25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

8 x $10 = 80 x 40 = $3,200

11 x $15 = 165 x 40 = $6,600

4 x $18 = 72 x 40 = $2,880

6 x $21 = 126 x 40 = $5,040

7 x $26 = 182 x 40 = $7,280

3200 + 6600 + 2880 + 5040 + 7280 = $25,000

I hope this helps!

the answer for this question is 38

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
