Question

I NEEEEEED HEEEEEEEP PLZZZZZZZZ

A student works two different jobs. At the first job, they earn $9.50 per hour working at a fast
food restaurant. At their second job, they are paid $30 to take care of landscaping at their
neighbor’s house once a week. Write a function rule showing that the amount the student
earns, (ℎ), depends on the number of hours worked, ℎ, and use it to determine how much the
student earns each week. Then evaluate the expression to determine how much the student will
earn next week if they are scheduled to work 10 hours and 15 minutes at the restaurant.

Answer 1

So, since the student makes $30 each week, we can disregard the number of hours.

So, we can model this situation by the following equation

9.5h+30

So, if he works 10.25 hrs (15 minutes = .25 of 1 hr) we just plug that number in

`9.5h+30\\9.5(10.25)+30\\127.275`

Since it's money we round to the nearest cent

So he will make $127.28 Next week
