15) Jerry was told that he would earn $8 each for washing cats and $16 each for washing dogs. Write an expression to determine his total earnings if he washes 16 cats and 14 dogs.

Answer 1

(16 x $8) + (14 x $16)

Explanation:

$8 for washing each cat

16 cats

16x$8 - Amount earned for washing cats

$16 for washing each dog

14 dogs

14x$16 - Amount earned for washing dogs

"Total earnings" = add them up

(16 x $8) + (14 x $16)

Answer 2

352.

y = 8c + 16d

Explanation:

Expression:

c = cats

d = dogs

Expresion: y = 8c + 16d

Now use it by plugging in.

y = 8c + 16d

y = 8(16) + 16(14)

y = 128 + 224

y = 352 (that's how much he earned)
