Question

Mike earns $15 for each hour he work plus a $25 bonus. How much does he earn in 10 hours of work?

Answer 1

Hello there!

We are trying to find how much Mike earns when he worked for 10 hours

Lets make an equation out of the given information in the question.

We know that:

• Earns $15 each hour
• $25 bonus

We would format it as y = mx + b

Our equations would be y = 15x + 25

"x" being the amount of hours he worked

We know that he worked 10 hours, so we would plug 10 into x.

Then, we can solve.

y = 15(10) + 25

y = 150 + 25

y = 175

Answer: $175

I hope this helps!
