Question

Austin works as a tutor for $9 an hour and as a waiter for $11 an hour. This month, he worked a combined total of 86 hours at his two jobs. Let t be the number of hours Austin worked as a tutor this month. Write an expression for the combined total dollar amount he earned this month.

Answer 1

total dollar amount he earned this month is 946 - 2 t

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

tutor = $9

waiter = $11

total time = 86 hours

to find out

total amount earned

solution

as given we consider here no of hours as tutor work = t

so as waiter he work for no of hours = ( 86 - t )

so here

total amount is earned is 9 × t + 11 × ( 86 - t )

total amount is earned = 9 t + 946 - 11 t

total amount is earned = 946 - 2 t

so total dollar amount he earned this month is 946 - 2 t
