h = hours worked in one week

b = number of bushels picked

Use the curved parentheses 'O', if required.

Do not use other parentheses like '{ }' or '[ ]'.

Answer 1

a = 3h + 2.50b

Explanation:

Greg picks apples to make money over the summer. He earns $3 an hour plus $2.50 for each bushel he picks. Write a formula that will help Greg determine how much money he will earn in one week.

Let

a = Total amount earned

h = Hours worked in one week

b = Number of bushels picked

Solution:

Amount earned per hour = $3

Amount earned per bushel picked = $2.50

Total amount earned = (Amount earned per hour) ( Hours worked in one week) + (Amount earned per bushel picked) (Number of bushels picked)

a = 3*h + 2.50*b

= 3h + 2.50b

a = 3h + 2.50b
