Terry and Susan both detail cars. Terry chargers $75 for each car and Susan charges $70 for each car. This week Terry made an additional $65 in tips and Susan made an additional $95 in tips. Given that T and S represent the number of cars detailed by Terry (T) and Susan (S), which expression can be used to represent their combined earnings for the week? Responses A 65T + 70S + 16065T + 70S + 160 B 75T + 70S + 16075T + 70S + 160 C 145(T + S) + 160145(T + S) + 160 D 145TS + 160
The total earnings for Terry can be represented as 75T + 65, where T is the number of cars detailed by Terry and 65 is the additional earnings from tips. Similarly, the total earnings for Susan can be represented as 70S + 95, where S is the number of cars detailed by Susan and 95 is the additional earnings from tips.
To find the combined earnings for the week, we add the total earnings for Terry and Susan, which gives us (75T + 65) + (70S + 95).
Simplifying this expression, we get 75T + 70S + 160.
Therefore, the correct expression to represent their combined earnings for the week is 75T + 70S + 160, which is answer choice B.
