To determine which situation is best represented by the given equation, let's analyze the equation:
20h + 40 = 480
The equation represents a situation involving Stacey's payment, where "h" represents the number of hours she worked. The left side of the equation, 20h + 40, represents the total amount she earned, while the right side of the equation, 480, represents the total payment she received.
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable "h" on one side of the equation. Here are the steps:
1. Start by subtracting 40 from both sides of the equation:
20h + 40 - 40 = 480 - 40
20h = 440
2. Next, divide both sides of the equation by 20 to solve for "h":
20h / 20 = 440 / 20
h = 22
Therefore, the equation represents the situation in which Stacey was paid $480 last week, and she was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.
Thus, the correct response would be:
Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.
