Peach Produces pays its employees by the formula, P(b)=52b+45 P b = 5 2 b + 45 , where P(b) P b is the employee’s total daily pay and b is the number of bushels of peaches picked. According to the formula, what is the rate employees are paid per bushel of peaches picked? A $5.00

B $2.00

C $45.00

D $2.50

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the daily pay formula :

P(b)=5/2b+45

P(b) = employee’s total daily pay

b = number of bushels of peaches picked

Hence from the fórmula ; rate which employees are paid per bushel. Of peach picked is the gradient of the equation :

According to the intercept slope formula:

y = mx + c ; where m = slope or gradient

From the equation :

P(b)=5/2b+45

The slope or gradient is 5/2 ; hence, employees are paid $5/2 per bushel of peaches picked.

$5/2 = $2.50

c is the final answer! : )
