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?
Let "x" represent the amount earned per hour.
The total earnings from working on Saturday and Sunday can be calculated by multiplying the hours worked each day by the amount earned per hour, and then adding the bonus:
Total earnings = amount earned per hour * (hours worked on Saturday + hours worked on Sunday) + bonus
$164 = x * (4 + 8) + $50
Simplifying and rewriting the equation, we get:
$164 = 12x + $50
