Rory Morse · Answer 1

w = 300 + 12.32v

Step-by-step explanation:

Calista's wages are ...

wages = (straight time earnings) + (overtime pay)

= $300 + (overtime hours) · (overtime pay per hour)

= $300 + (v) ($12.32)

Using the symbols required by the problem statement, we have ...

w = 300 + 12.32v
