Answer:
1. 30(8.75) + 11t = 400
2. 12.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
1. What is given is you work for 30 hours per week at a gas station for $8.75 an hour. You also work as a landscaper for $11 an hour. You want to a make a total of $400 per week.
30 hours and $8.75 an hour would be equivalent to 30(8.75)
We don’t know how many hours you work as a landscaper but you earn $11 an hour, which is equivalent to 11t
Finally, you want to earn a total of $400 a week, which means the sum equals 400
30(8.75) + 11t = 400
2. 30(8.75) = 262.5
400 - 262.5 = 137.5
137.5 / 11 = 12.5
