A cashier earn $x for an 8-hour day. Write an algebraic expression in terms of x for the cashier's
a) hourly pay
B) weekly pay for a 5 day week
c) yearly pay for year of 52 weeks
Hourly pay = $x/8
Weekly pay = $x * 5
Can you do the last one using the principles that I used?
I hope this helps.
c.yearly pay for a year of 52 weeks:
P = 52*5x = 260x
To write an algebraic expression in terms of x for the cashier's:
a) hourly pay:
The cashier earns $x for an 8-hour day. To find the hourly pay, we divide the total amount earned in a day by the number of hours worked in a day.
So, the algebraic expression for the hourly pay, P, would be:
P = x / 8
b) weekly pay for a 5-day week:
The cashier earns $x for a day, and there are 5 working days in a week. To find the weekly pay, we multiply the daily earning by the number of working days in a week.
So, the algebraic expression for the weekly pay, W, would be:
W = x * 5
c) yearly pay for a year of 52 weeks:
The cashier earns $x per week, and there are 52 weeks in a year. To find the yearly pay, we multiply the weekly earning by the number of weeks in a year.
So, the algebraic expression for the yearly pay, Y, would be:
Y = x * 52
