The equation 12h + 30 = 258 represents a situation where someone receives a fixed amount (in this case $30) plus an additional amount per unit of something (in this case $12 per hour of work) to total a sum of money (in this case $258).
Breaking it down:
- 12h = $12 for each hour worked (h representing the number of hours)
- 30 = a one-time payment or bonus
- 258 = total amount earned
The correct situation is therefore:
"Eric was paid a $30 bonus and $12 for each hour he worked last week, and in total, he earned $258."
So among the given options, this one would be correct:
"Eric was paid $258 last week. He was paid a $30 bonus and $12 for each hour he worked. What is h, the number of hours Eric worked last week?"
