Real World Problem Equations

The height, h, of an object decreases by 7 feet every second. If the object is initially set at 100 feet, which equation represents its height after s seconds?

• h = 7 - 100s

• h = 100s - 7

• h = 100 - 7s

• h = 100 + 7s

A company pays its employees a base salary of $750 per week, plus a 15% commission for all of their sales. If t = total weekly pay, and s = the total sales, which equation can an employee use to determine his or her total weekly pay?

• t = 750(0.15s)

• t = 750 + 0.15s

• t = 750s + 0.15

• t = 750 + 15s
