Question

During the summer, Jody earns $10 per hour babysitting and $15 per hour doing yardwork. This week she worked 34 hours and earned $410. If x represents the number hours she babysat and y represents the number of hours she did yardwork, which system of equations models this situation?

A.
x + y = 34
10x + 15y = 410
B.
x + y = 410
10x + 15y = 34
C.
x + y = 34
15x + 10y = 410
D.
x + y = 410
15x + 10y = 34

Answer 1

C! i’m sure off i hope i’m right

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. x+y=34

10x+15y=410

Explanation:

First the question states that babysitting is represented by x and yard work is represented by y, so that eliminates C and D.

If x and y are the amount of hours put into babysitting and yard work you would make the equation, x+y=34 to find out how many hours of each were worked.

Then you would make the equation 10x+15y=410 with the known variables.

So in conclusion A is the correct answer.
