Question

Laci earns $8.74 per hour plus a gas allowance of $3.50 per day at her job. How much does Laci's job pay in a day when she works 5 hours?

Part A
Write an expression to determine how much Laci will make in one day after working h hours.
Part B
How much will Laci make if she works 5 hours?

Answer 1

Answer : 8.74h + 3.50, 47.2

Step - by - step explanation :

Part A = 8.74h + 3.50 || The reason why 8.74 has an " h " in front of it is because we don't know how many times it repeats / how many hours Laci works.

Part B = 8.74 x 5 + 3.50 = 47.2 || The reason why 3.50 was added onto it is because - for every day Laci works, she gets paid 3.50. ( And she worked that day so . . . )
