Question

Joshua sells 13 toys per hour. Sarah sells 16 toys per hour. This week Sarah sold an additional 20 toys. Write an expression that represents the weekly sales of both j= the number of hours the Joshua sold toys for this week and S = the number of hours that Sarah worked this week?

Answer 1

Assuming that they each work 24hrs a day 7 days a week (I haven't got anything else to go on...sorry) to find the total for Joshua you must first multiply 13x24 = 312, for the toys sold per day, and then 312x7 = 2184, for the number of days per week. so j = 2184
then for Sarah's total we must first multiply 16x24 = 384 for the toys sold per day and then 384x7 = 2688 for the toys sold per week. and 2688+20 = 2708 for the extra 20 she sold. so s = 2708

REMEMBER, THIS IS ASSUMING THEY WORK 24/7 MEANING THEY WORK 168 HOURS PER WEEK. 

IF YOU NEED A DIFFERENT ANSWER LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO FIX IT. IF YOU LET ME KNOW THE HOURS THEY WORKED I CAN DO TAT FOR YOU AS WELL.
