Question

Sylvie needs $110 for a concert ticket. She already has $16 and she can earn the rest by working 10 hours at her job. If h represents her hourly earnings, which of the following equations can be solved to find Sylvie’s hourly earnings? Select all that apply

A 110 - 16 = 10h
B 110 = 16h + 10
C 16 = 110 - h
D 110 = 16 + 10h
E 110 + 16 = 10h

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

16 +10h = 110 is the equation because it uses 10h to represent the hourly wages and you need $110. Therefore, with the starting $16, if you use the hourly $10 rate you can come to your answer using the equation.
