Michael enrolls customers for a food delivery service. For each customer he enrolls, he earns $20 plus 15% of the value of the customer’s first order. The expression below represents Michael’s earnings, in dollars, based on the value of a customer’s first order (x). 20 + 0.15x How would the expression change if Michael earned 10% of the value of each customer’s first order instead of 15% of the value?

• The 20 would decrease by 5.

• The 0.15 would change to 0.10.

• The entire expression would be multiplied by (2/3).

• The entire expression would be multiplied by 0.10.
