Answer 1

Hello!

First of all, let's rewrite some important information contained in the exercise.

We know that Joelle earns:

• $10.00 per week doing chores.

,

• $2.50 per week taking the mail inside.

Knowing it, we can write it as an algebraic expression (considering the number of weeks = w).

She will earn:

`(10.00\cdot w)+(2.50\cdot w)=(12.50\cdot w)`

As we know the number of weeks is 25, we will have w = 25.

So, we have to multiply the amount that she earns each week by the number of weeks, look:

`\begin{gathered} 12.50\cdot w \\ 12.50\cdot25 \\ =\boxed{312.50} \end{gathered}`

Answer:

Joelle will earn $312.50 over 25 weeks.
