Question

A librarian earns $20.00 plus $13.00 every hour he works. How much money would the librarian earn after working 5 hours?

Answer 1

so does this mean she earns 23 dollars every hour if so she earns a total of 115 dollars

Answer 2

since 20 is the starting amount you would add 20 to 13 times 5 . So the correct answer would be 85 dollars . 20 + 13 x 5 = 85
