Gina works at a diner. She earns $6 each hour plus tips.In one week,she worked 37 hours a week and earned $43 in tips.How much did she make altogether? Write an equation. Use a variable for the unknown.Solve.

Heh nevermind I will use this site again, ty ppl for helping me with my math test :P

6*37+43

if she always works 37 hours per week
income = 6 * 37 + tip
otherwise
income = 6 * hours + tip

$222.00

$265.00

To find out how much Gina made altogether, we need to calculate her earnings from both her hourly wage and tips and then add them together.

Let's start by calculating her earnings from her hourly wage. We know that Gina earns $6 per hour, and she worked for 37 hours, so we need to multiply her hourly wage by the number of hours she worked:

Hourly earnings = $6 * 37 hours

Next, we need to calculate her earnings from tips. We know that Gina earned $43 in tips.

Now, let's set up an equation to represent Gina's total earnings:

Total earnings = Hourly earnings + Tips

Using a variable for the unknown, let's say x represents the total earnings. The equation becomes:

x = ($6 * 37 hours) + $43

To solve the equation, we substitute the value of 37 hours and solve for x:

x = ($6 * 37) + $43
x = $222 + $43
x = $265

Therefore, Gina made a total of $265 altogether.
