Question

Zinnia and Ruby earn $58 per week for delivering pizzas. Zinnia worked for x weeks and earned an additional total bonus of $13. Ruby worked for y weeks. Which expression shows the total money, in dollars, that Zinnia and Ruby earned for delivering pizzas? (5 points)

71x + 58y

58x − 13 + 58y

58x + 71y

58x + 13 + 58y

Answer 1

58x + 13 + 58y

Answer 2

58x + 13 + 58y

Explanation:

First, create an expression that represents how much Zinnia made.

Since she gets $58 per week, the amount she gets can be represented by 58x.

This can also represent how much Ruby got, since she also gets $58 per week.

Then, add 13 to 58x to represent Zinnia's $13 bonus.

If we add these together, we get the expression 58x + 13 + 58x

So, 58x + 13 + 58x is the right answer.
