Kurt works at a cafe and earns $16 per
hour. On Wednesday, he worked t hours
at the cafe, and his neighbor paid him $5-
per hour to babysit for b hours. Which
expression best represents the amount
Kurt earned on Wednesday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16t + 5b = total dollars earned on Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

He earns $16 dollars for every hour (t) he works at the café. This can be written as 16 times t, or 16t. The same can be said for babysitting. The total is  the combination of these. Such, answer is 16t + 5b

Answer:

16t + 5b

Step-by-step explanation:

Cafe : Kurt would get $16 for 1 hour (1 × 16), $32 for 2 hours (2 × 16), etc. so he would earn $16t for t hours.

Babysitting: Kurt would get $5 for 1 hour (5 × 1), $10 for 2 hours (5 × 2), etc. so he would earn $5b for b hours.

∴ The expression is 16t + 5b

Hope this helps!
