Question

Adan works as an information technician and fitness trainer. As a technician, he earns $22 per hour. Last week he worked x hours as a technician and his friend paid him $50 for a day of fitness training. Write an expression to represent the total amount Adan earned last week.​

Answer 1

Answer: t = 22x + 50

Explanation:

t = total amount earned

x = hours worked

We know his friend payed $50, so that is our initial value. We don’t need hours for that one.

For his job as trainer, he earns $22 per hour but we don’t know how many hours he earned, so that is x. That is how I got the 22x.

Hope this helps! And of course, feel free to use any variables of your choice. :)
