Answer 1

Lyddie's board was $1.75 per week and she was making a total of $4.25 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given statement, it states that 'she was making $2.50 a week above her $1.75 board.'

To find Lyddie's board, we need to subtract the extra $2.50 from her total weekly pay. So, her board can be calculated as $1.75 per week.

To calculate Lyddie's total pay per week, we need to add her board to the pay reflected in the statement. Hence, Lyddie was making a total of $1.75 + $2.50 = $4.25 per week.
