Answer 1

d. $233.40

Explanation:

pay for 32 hours

= $5.30 × 32

= $169.60

tips = $403 - $169.60

= $233.40

Answer 2

d. $233.40

Explanation:

you solve this by first multiplying Ryan's hourly rate($5.30) by how many hours he worked last week(32 hours)

5.30*32=169.6

then you take that number and subtract it from how much he earned($403) and the resulting number will be what he made in tips

403-169.9=233.40
