Question

Dan’s income can be calculated as $20 times the number of hours worked (h) added to his overtime wages of $300. If you subtract $600 to pay a bill, his income totals $500. Which expression represents dance income?

Answer 1

Income:

$20 x number of hours = 20h

Add the overtime wages of $300

Dan's income= 2h+300

Subtract 600 to pay a bill:

2h+300-600

His income totals $500

2h+300-600 =500

Combine like terms:

2h-300 = 500
