Rita and Tina each make $11 an hour working as cashiers at a supermarket. Last week, Rita worked r hours while Tina worked t hours. Rita also worked overtime hours during the week, for which she was paid an extra $32 flat wage. Which expressions represent the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina?
Rita and Tina's total weekly wages can be represented as
,
, or
.
Rita and Tina's total weekly wages can be represented as:
- $11r + $11t (using the variable expressions)
- 11r + 11t (using the numerical expressions)
- 11(r + t) (using the distributive property)
- $11(r + t) (using the variable expressions and the currency symbol)
To find the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina, we need to consider their regular wages and any additional earnings from overtime.
Both Rita and Tina make $11 an hour, so Rita's regular wages would be 11 * r and Tina's regular wages would be 11 * t.
In addition, Rita worked overtime and was paid an extra $32 flat wage. Therefore, the expression for Rita's total wages would be 11 * r + 32.
To find the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina, we can add their regular wages and any additional earnings. Thus, the expression for their total weekly wages would be (11 * r + 32) + (11 * t).
So, the correct answer is (11 * r + 32) + (11 * t).
