Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find average pay of servers
Since servers earn $840 less per month than chefs and average pay of a chef is $c$, average pay of a server is $c - 840$.
Step2: Calculate total pay of chefs
The restaurant has 4 chefs. Total pay of chefs is number of chefs times average pay of a chef, so it is $4c$.
Step3: Calculate total pay of servers
The restaurant has 18 servers. Total pay of servers is number of servers times average pay of a server, so it is $18(c - 840)$.
Step4: Calculate total monthly - payroll
The total monthly - payroll $P$ is the sum of total pay of chefs and total pay of servers. So $P=4c + 18(c - 840)$.
Answer:
D. $4c + 18(c - 840)$
