Hello,
I don't understand how to solve this problem:
Each writer of the local newspaper is paid as follows: a dollars for each of the first n stories each month, and a+b for each story thereafter, where a>b.
How many more dollars will a writer who submits n+a stories in a month earn than a writer who submits n+b stories?
A.(a+b)(a+b+n)
B.a-b
C.a2-b2
D.n(a-b)
E.an+bn-an
I've got the answer but not the explanation.
I really need to develop my ability to put words into equations but that's still difficult for me.
This question is rated as advanced by Kaplan.
Cheers!
