Sami earns $8.50 an hour walking dogs. Write an equation to represent this situation, be sure to define the variables. How much will Sami earn if she walks dogs for 10 hours a week? How long will she need to walk dogs to earn $102.00?

Answer 1

$85

12 hours

Explanation:

Let x=hours. y=Total amount earned

y=$8.50x

If she walks dogs for 10 hours she will earn:

y=$8.50(10) y=$85.

If she makes $102 she will have walked dogs for

102 = 8.5x

102/8.5 = x

x = 12 hours

Answer 2

Answer: 12 hours

Explanation:

Let's define the variables first:Let "E" represent Sami's earnings in dollars.

Let "H" represent the number of hours she walks dogs in a week.

Now, we can write the equation to represent Sami's earnings:

E = 8.50 * H

To find out how much Sami will earn if she walks dogs for 10 hours a week, we can substitute "H" with 10 in the equation:

E = 8.50 * 10

E = $85.00

So, Sami will earn $85.00 if she walks dogs for 10 hours a week.

Next, to find out how long Sami needs to walk dogs to earn $102.00, we can set up the equation:

102 = 8.50 * H

Now, solve for "H":

H = 102 / 8.50

H = 12

Sami need to walk dogs 12 hours to earn $102.00.
