Answer 1

Rochelle would need to earn $220 in tips as a server to have her earnings equal to her earnings as a hostess at the restaurant (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equality between Rochelle's earnings as a hostess and server, we need to set up an equation. Let's assume the amount of tips she receives as a server is represented by T. The equation would be:

Hostess earnings = Server earnings + Tips

$530 = $310 + T

To solve for T, we subtract $310 from both sides of the equation:

$530 - $310 = T

Simplifying, we have:

$220 = T

Therefore, Rochelle would need to earn $220 in tips to have her earnings as a server equal to her earnings as a hostess. So, the answer is A) $220.
