Question

John works at a local fast food restaurant for $8.50 per hour. He decides to save 20% of his wages for college. His parent gave him $300 to start his college fund. Which equation below describes the amount of money John saves for college?

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

money given by parents = $300

earning per hour = $8.5

0.2 × 8.5 = $1.7

y = saving for college

x = hours he worked

y = saving from wages + given by parents

y = 1.7x + 300
