What is the answer? 🤷♀️
To find the answer, we need to determine the rate of pay per day. We can do this by dividing the weekly earnings ($255) by the number of days worked (3).
Rate of pay per day = Weekly earnings / Number of days worked = $255 / 3
Now, we can find out how much the clerk would earn if she worked 5 days per week. We can use the rate of pay per day and multiply it by the number of days worked (5).
Earnings for 5 days per week = Rate of pay per day * Number of days worked = ($255 / 3) * 5
Simplifying the expression further, we get:
Earnings for 5 days per week = $255 * (5/3)
Thus, the expression that represents what she would earn if she worked 5 days per week is option 2:
x = 5/3 * $255
Therefore, the answer is option 2: x = 5/3(255).
