Answer 1

`\$ \huge{\text{(} (x)/(4) \ + \ (4x)/(4) \huge{\text{)}`

Explanation:

Given:

Last year: $x

Determining the money earned for this year:

This year = 25% more than last year

= $25x/100 + $x

= $x/4 + $4x/4

The expression that represents the money earned this year is $x/4 + $4x/4.

Answer 2

• Earnings last year=x
• More earnings percentage=25%

More earnings:-

• 25% of x
• 0.25x

Total earnings this year

• x+0.25x
• (1+0.25)x
• $1.25x
