Respuesta :

Answer:

a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month (G)

G = 204 dollars

b. Earnings of Enguun for  19.5 hours last month (G)

G = 331.5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Nomenclature

G: Total earnings of Enguun in dollars

E: Enguun's earnings for 1 hour of tutoring (dollars/hour)

n: number of hours that Enguun tutored per month (hour/month)

Formula

G = E*n

E = $17 per hour = 17 dollars/hour

Problem development

a. Earnings of Enguun for 12 hours this month

n = 12 hours

G = E*n

[tex]G= 17\frac{dollars}{hour} * 12 hour[/tex]  : We eliminate hours

G = 204 dollars

b. Earnings of Enguun for 19.5 hours last month

G = E*n

G = 17 * 19.5

G = 331.5 dollars

Answer:

she earned $33.15 last month

Step-by-step explanation:

Enguun earns $17 per hour tutoring student-athletes at Brooklyn University.

Enguun tutored for 12 hours this month

1 hour tutoring rate is $17

we need to find out how much she earn for 12 hours

rate per hour times the number of hours tutored

12 times 17=204

she earns $204 this month

(b)  Enguun tutored for 19.5 hours last month

rate per hour times the number of hours tutored

17 times 19.5=33.15

she earned $33.15 last month
