You work for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday. You also receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164. Which equation can you use to find how much you earned per hour?
A. 4h+8h+50=164
B. 4h+50=8h+164
C. (4+8)=50h-164
D. 50 (h+12)=164
To find how much you earned per hour, you can divide the total earnings by the total number of hours worked.
The equation that represents this relationship is:
Total Earnings = Earnings per Hour × Total Hours
Let's use the letter "x" to represent the earnings per hour and "h" to represent the total hours worked.
Based on the information provided, the equation is:
164 = x × (4 + 8)
Simplifying this equation, we have:
164 = x × 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 12, we get:
164/12 = x
Thus, the correct equation is:
B. 4h + 50 = 8h + 164
To find how much you earned per hour, you can divide the total amount earned by the total number of hours worked.
First, let's find the total number of hours worked. You worked for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday, so the total number of hours worked is 4 + 8 = 12 hours.
Let x represent how much you earn per hour.
The equation that represents how much you earned per hour is:
x * 12 + 50 = 164
Rearranging the equation, we get:
12x + 50 = 164
So the correct equation is:
A. 4h + 8h + 50 = 164
To find how much you earned per hour, you need to divide the total amount earned by the total number of hours worked.
In this case, you worked for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday, giving a total of 4 + 8 = 12 hours.
You also received a $50 bonus, so the total earnings are $164 + $50 = $214.
Now we can set up the equation to find the earnings per hour. Let's use variable 'x' to represent the earnings per hour:
12x = 214
To solve for 'x', you divide both sides of the equation by 12:
x = 214 / 12
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives:
x = 17.83
Therefore, the correct equation to find how much you earned per hour is not one of the options provided.
