Question

Hannah earns $10.25

an hour,H at her job at Target. She spends $4
each day on gas getting to and from work. Write an algebraic expression to represent the total amount of money she will bring home each day?

Answer 1

Alright! Let's break down the problem into simpler parts.

1. Hannah earns $10.25 for every hour she works.

2. She spends $4 on gas each day to get to and from work.

Now, let's use a letter to represent something we don't know. Let's use the letter 'H' to represent the number of hours Hannah works in a day.

So, the money Hannah earns in a day by working 'H' hours is:

Money earned = Hourly wage × Number of hours

= $10.25 × H

= 10.25H (this means 10.25 times H)

Now, she spends $4 on gas each day, so we need to subtract this from the money she earns.

Total money she brings home in a day = Money earned - Money spent on gas

= 10.25H - $4

= 10.25H - 4

That's our algebraic expression!

In simple words, to find out how much money Hannah brings home in a day, you multiply the number of hours she works by $10.25 and then subtract $4 for the gas.

For example, if Hannah works for 8 hours in one day, you would plug 8 in place of 'H' in the expression:

= 10.25 × 8 - 4

= $82 - $4

= $78

So, Hannah would bring home $78 that day.

Answer 2

115 dollars

Explanation:

assuming that a day is 12 hours she earns 123 dollars she usually uses 4 from work and back which is 8 dollars do 123 - 8 = 115
