Question

Todd hired a handyman to replace some tiles in his bathroom. He paid him $24 per hour of work and $15 as a tip.

If the handyman worked for t hours, the amount he got paid is given by the expression:

A. t+24+15
B.24t+15t
C.24t+15
D.24(t+15)

If he worked for 3 hours, he would receive:
A.42$
B.87$
C.93$
D.117$

Answer 1

1. C 24t+15

2. B. 87

Explanation:

Since he gets $24 an hour, you have to multiply the number of hours by how much he gets paid, that would be the 24t part. Since he has a $15 added tip, you add that to the rest of the equation. He isn't getting $15 an hour, he just gets a flat tip, so you wouldn't multiply it by t. To get the second part, you have to plug in 3 for t since that is how many hours he worked. The equation would look like this: 24(3)+15. You get $87 for this.

Answer 2

1. C.24t+15
And
2. B.87$
I hope this helped :)
