The situation that is best represented by the given equation 20h + 40 = 480 is:
Stacey was paid $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked last week, and her total payment was $480.
To determine which situation is represented by the equation 20h + 40 = 480, we need to solve the equation for h.
1. Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:
20h + 40 - 40 = 480 - 40
20h = 440
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 20 to isolate h:
(20h) / 20 = 440 / 20
h = 22
Now we can use this value of h to match it with the correct situation.
Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.
In this situation, h represents the number of hours Stacey worked. Given that h = 22, if Stacey was paid $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked, the equation (20h + 40 = 480) would hold true. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.
