Question

Janice makes $5.25 per hour babysitting. In one week she received a bonus of $25 plus her hourly rate. Which equation would express Janice’s earnings if she wants to get more than $250 for the week?

A. $5.25h – 25 > $250
B. $5.25 + h + 25 > $250
C. $5.25h + 25 > $250
D. $5.25 – 25h > $250

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

$5.25 is affected by the number of hours she baby sits, so it needs to have an h next to it to show that, that makes B and D incorrect.

You need to add 25 to the total, not subtract it, so A is also incorrect. that leaves C

Answer 2

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: The $25 is added on to the constant rate of $5.25. This means that it would be $5.25 + $25 > $250
