Question

Penny earns $580 more than half of Karen´s salary. If p represents Penny´s salary, write an expression that represents the amount of money Karen earns in relation to Penny.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{p}{2} + 580$

Step-by-step explanation:

p = Penny's salary

Karen's salary = $580 more than half of p

We can use the fraction $\frac{p}{2}$ to represent half of p.

Since Karen's salary is $580 more, her salary is $580 + $\frac{p}{2}$ .
