Question

Leo works at McDonald's and gets paid $8.50/hr. He passed his store's inspection and received a $100 bonus. Write an equation that represents the given relationship.

A. 8.50h + 100 = Total earnings
B. 8.50h - 100 = Total earnings
C. 8.50h = Total earnings + 100
D. 8.50h = Total earnings - 100

Answer 1

The correct equation describing Leo's total earnings including his hourly wage and the bonus is option A. 8.50h + 100 = Total earnings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents Leo's total earnings when he works at McDonald's and receives a $100 bonus is:

A. 8.50h + 100 = Total earnings

This equation is set up to account for the hourly wage Leo earns, represented by 8.50h (where h is the number of hours worked), plus the $100 bonus he received for his store's inspection. So for every hour Leo works, he earns $8.50, and this is added to the $100 flat bonus to calculate his total earnings.
