Question

Sophia earned $240 at her brother's store. If she worked for 8 days and earned the same amount of money each day, how much did she earn per day?

Answer 1

8x=240

Where 8 is the amount of days, 240 is the total pay, and x represents the pay per day.

8x=240
—- ——
8 8

In this step, you are dividing both sides by 8 to isolate the x

x=30

Therefore, she was paid $30 each day. You can check this by inserting back into your equation.

8(30)=240
240=240

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

$30

Explanation:

$240 divided by 8

She earns $30 each day
