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(S+C) + $40
which one of these would it be?
12SC+40
12+40+SC
12+40+S+C
12S+12C+40
The correct expression would be 12S+12C+40.
The expression that represents their combined earnings for this week is:
12S + (12C + 40)
To find the combined earnings for this week, we need to multiply the number of hours worked by the pay rate, and then add any bonuses.
The pay rate for both Sierra and Charlie is $12 per hour. So, Sierra's earnings for the week would be 12 times the number of hours worked, which is 12S.
However, Charlie received a $40 bonus. So, Charlie's earnings for the week would be 12 times the number of hours worked, plus the $40 bonus. This can be represented as 12C + 40.
To find the combined earnings for Sierra and Charlie, we just need to add their individual earnings together. Therefore, the expression that represents their combined earnings for this week would be 12S + (12C + 40).
