Question

Damian earns $14.00 per hour at his job. He also receives a bonus of $30 each week for providing excellent customer service. His paycheck for one week was $240.

Which equation represents this paycheck based on the number of hours worked, h?

- 30h+14=240
- 30(h+14)=240
- 14h+30=240
- 14(h+30)=240

Answer 1

Answer: C 14h + 30 = 240

Explanation:

He gets paid 14 dollars an hour at his job, but we do not know how many hours he has worked this week, so we use the variable, h. He also gets a bonus of 30 dollars each week. SO the equation should be 14h + 30= 240. You can also solve for h using this information: First subtract 30 from 240= 210, and then divide that by 14 and you get h= 15
