Question

Jon worked x hours at the car wash on Friday and the same number of hours on Saturday. His total pay for Friday and Saturday was $175. Which expression could you use to determine Jon's hourly pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$175 \div 48 = 3.65$

Step-by-step explanation:

so they get paid 175 in total for two days so 24 hours are in one day but we are looking for the hourly pay for two days so we use 48 as a dividing variable . so 175 divide by 48 is 3.65 so they get paid 3.65 per hour but if we have to round it out then 4 per hour

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{175}{2x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Jon works the same number of hours on Friday and Saturday, therefore x represents the number of hours worked on Friday and also the number of hours worked on Saturday.

So the total hours worked between Friday and Saturday is 2X

If the total for the 2X hours worked is equal to 175 $  

To know how much you earn per hour, we must divide the profit by the total hours worked.

Then we have the following expression

To know how much you earn per hour, we must divide the profit by the total hours worked.

$\frac{175}{2x}$
