Last week, Lindsay earned $10 per hour plus a $60 bonus for good job performance. She spends StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction
of her paycheck on dinner with friends. If she had not earned the bonus, the amount she spent on dinner would have been StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction of her paycheck. Which equation can be used to find h, the number of hours Lindsay worked last week? StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis(10h + 60) = StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction(10h) StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction(10h + 60h) = StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 h right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis(10h) StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFractionh(10 + 60) = StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction h left-parenthesis 10 plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction h left-parenthesis 10 right-parenthesish(10) StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 plus 60 h right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis(10 + 60h) = StartFraction 1 Over 10 EndFraction(10h)
StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis
Step-by-step explanation:
The desired equation equates 1/15 of the amount Lindsay earned with 1/10 the amount without the bonus:
StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis
