Question

Rita and Tina each make $11 an hour working as cashiers at a supermarket. Last week, Rita worked r hours while Tina worked t hours. Rita also worked overtime hours during the week, for which she was paid an extra $32 flat wage. Which expressions represent the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina? Rita and Tina's total weekly wages can be represented as 11(r)(t) + 32 (11r + 32) + 11t (11t + 32r) + 11r , 11(r + t) + 32 11(r + t) + 32r 11(rt) + 32 , or 11r + 11t + 32 11rt + 32 11r + 32t + 11

Answer 1

The cost per hour is $11, at that point, the coefficient of the quantity of hours Rita and Tina had worked. With respect to Rita, she will get an additional $32 level wage for her extra hours. It wont be duplicated any further. Mathematically: 

Rita's Total Wages = 11r + 32

Tina's Total Wages = 11t
