Ella has a part-time job selling cupcakes at a cart in the park. She is paid $25 for a shift plus a fee of $0.25 for each cupcake she sells. A) Write
an equation that can be used to solve for the total amount, t, Ella earns for
working a shift in the park and selling c cupcakes. Ella works a shift and
earns $38. B.) Use the equation you wrote for part A to solve for the
number of cupcakes Ella sold during her shift. Show your work. In the
summer, the average number of cupcakes sold during a weekday shift is
36 and the average number of cupcakes sold during a weekend shift is 62.
Ella has been given the choice to work a regular schedule of 3 weekday
shifts each week or 2 weekend shifts each week. C.) Explain which
schedule will allow Ella to earn $300 more quickly. Support your answer
with mathematical evidence, and state which shift Ella should choose.
