Answer 1

Answer:

$9,840

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money earned from college be 'x'.

Given:

Total money earned from the two jobs = $50,450

Money earned at the store = 1250 + 4(Money earned at college)

∴ Money earned at the store = $1250 +4x$

Now, total money earned by Erica is the sum of money earned at store and college. Therefore,

Total money = Money at store + Money at college

$50450=1250+4x+x\\5x+1250=50450\\5x=50450-1250\\5x=49200\\x=\frac{49200}{5}=\ 9840$

Therefore, the money earned by Erica from her job at the college is $9,840.
