Question

Kelly worked and earned $17 per hour working at the bakery. She got a holiday bonus of $150. Write an algebraic expression to represent the amount of money Kelly earned. Define the variable.

Answer 1

e = 17h + 150
E is her total earnings
H is the hours she work
The 150 is her bonus so we add that to her hours worked

Answer 2

Answer:

150 + 17x = y

x = hours worked

y = her overall profit
