Question

Select the correct answer. During the summer, Jody earns $10 per hour babysitting and $15 per hour doing yardwork. This week she worked 34 hours and earned $410. If x represents the number hours she babysat and y represents the number of hours she did yardwork, which system of equations models this situation? A. x + y = 34 10x + 15y = 410 B. x + y = 410 10x + 15y = 34 C. x + y = 34 15x + 10y = 410 D. x + y = 410 15x + 10y = 34

Answer 1

Answer:

  A.  x + y = 34; 10x + 15y = 410

Step-by-step explanation:

Jody's total hours will be the sum of the hours spent on each job:

  x + y = 34 . . . . . total hours

Jody's total earnings will be the sum of the earnings from each job:

  10x +15y = 410 . . . total earnings

So, the system of equations is ...

• x + y = 34
• 10x + 15y = 410
