Jade and chet get a weekly allowance plus x dollars for each time the pair walks the dog. they plan to save 40% of their combined earnings in one week to purchase a new app for their smart tablet. their earnings in a certain week are represented in the table. earnings ($) jade 8+2x chet 4x+6 if their parents pay $2.50 each time they walk the dog, how much money will they have to purchase the app?

Answer 1

The amount of money Jade and chet will have to purchase the app is $11.6

How to solve equation?

• Jade = 8 + 2x
• Chet = 4x + 6

Where,

x = $2.50

Amount each earned:

Jade = 8 + 2x

= 8 + 2(2.50)

= 8 + 5

= $13

Chet = 4x + 6

= 4(2.50) + 6

= 10 + 6

= $16

Combined earnings = $13 + $16

= $29

Amount planned to save = 40% of combined earnings

= 40% × $29

= 0.4 × 29

= $11.6
