Question

Determine the correct equation for the following verbal sentence: The total monthly earnings, t, equals $18 times the number of hours worked, h. a. t = 18 c. t = 18h b. t = 18 + h d. t = 18 - h

Answer 1

d. t=18-h is the correct answer 

Answer 2

t= 18h

Explanation:

The total monthly earnings, t, equals $18 times the number of hours worked, h.

We need to frame an equation for the given verbal sentence

$18 times the number of hours worked, h means we multiply 18 with h

So it becomes 18h

total earnings = 18h

So the equation becomes t= 18h
