Answer:
6y + 1.25x
$61
Explanation:
Diego works at a vegetable farm and earns $6.00/hour plus $1.25 for every full wagonload of picked vegetables. Write an expression to represent how much Diego earns if he works y hours and fills x wagonloads. Instruction : In the expression, let the term containing y come before the term containing x.
If Diego works six hours and fills 20 wagonloads, how much does he earn?
==================================================================
Let's Start!
So, we know Diego earns $6.00/hour.
We can write that as 6y, where y is the number of hours worked.
We also know that he earns $1.25 for every wagonload of picked vegetable.
We can write that as 1.25x, where x is the number of wagonloads filled.
So, to make our algebraic expression, we will separate the terms by a plus sign.
6y + 1.25x
PART TWO:
"If Diego works 6 hours"
6(6) + 1.25x =
"And Diego fills 20 wagonloads"
6(6) + 1.25(20) =
Simplify.
36 + 25= 61
So, Diego will earn $61
