Sierra and Charlie are paid $12 per hour. However, this week Charlie received a $40 bonus. Given that S and C represent the number of hours worked by Sierra (S) and Charlie (C), which expression can be used to represent their combined earnings for this week?(1 point) Responses 12+40+SC 12 plus 40 plus cap s cap c 12SC+40 12 cap s cap c plus 40 12+40+S+C 12 plus 40 plus cap s plus cap c 12S+12C+40
The correct expression to represent their combined earnings for this week is 12S + 12C + 40.
The expression that can be used to represent their combined earnings for this week is: 12S + 12C + 40.
To find the expression that represents Sierra and Charlie's combined earnings for this week, we need to consider their hourly pay rate and any additional bonuses.
Since both Sierra and Charlie are paid $12 per hour, their earnings for the week can be represented by the product of their respective hours worked (S and C) and the hourly rate of $12. This expression would be 12S + 12C.
Additionally, Charlie received a $40 bonus, so we can include this bonus amount in the expression. Therefore, the expression that represents their combined earnings for this week would be 12S + 12C + 40.
Hence, the correct expression is 12S + 12C + 40.
