Question

Each week, Joey gets paid $10 plus $2 for each chore he does. His sister Julie gets paid $5 plus $3 per chore. Write an expression for how their parents pay joey and julie each week if they do the same amount of chores.

Answer 1

Let's say they both do 5 chores.

Joey: 10 + (2 x 5 *No. Chores*) = 10 + 10 = $20

Julie: 5 + (3 x 5 *No. Chores*) = 5 + 15 = $20

Answer 2

So if they each do 2 chores the expression of joey would be (10×2)+(2×2)=24 and julie would be (5×2)+(3×2)=16 so conclusion is that Joey makes more money than julie
