Question

Sunny earns $12 per hour delivering cakes. She worked for x hours this week. Unfortunately, she was charged

$15 for a late delivery on Tuesday. She made $225 this week. Write an equation to represent this situation. How
many hours did Sunny work this week?

Answer 1

It’s 20 because you do 225$ + 15$ then divide by 12

Answer 2

17.5 hours because 225-15 is 210, then 210 divided by 12 is 17.5
