Question

Louis is a pizza delivery driver. He made $72 in tips on Friday night, and earns an hourly wage of $4. Create an equation to represent his earnings.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: The keyword is hourly. Since the keyword is hourly, the equation is division.

72 / 4

1. 4 goes into 7 once.

1a. 72 / 4 = 1

2. Now we multiply 4 by 1.

2a. 4 x 1 = 4

3. Now, we subtract 7 by 4.

3a. 7 - 4 = 3

4. Now bring down the 2.

4a. 3 = 32

5. Then you repeat the process!

We'll do the last one step-by-step!

1. 2 goes into 4, 8 times.

1a. 72 / 4 = 18

2. Multiply 8 by 4.

2a. 8 x 4 = 32

3. Lastly, subtract 32 by 32.

32 - 32 = 0

Therefore, your answer is 18 R0.
