Joe receives two dollars plus a dollar for each box he packs. Michael receives two dollars times the number of boxes her packs.
1. Write an expression representing income for both Joe and Michael. Translate these expressions into equations.
Joe- 2+b (or 2+1b)
Micheal- 2b
2. Represent both expressions and equations numerically for the first 10 boxes packed.
Joe- 2+10=12
Micheal- 2x10=20
3. How are the addition patterns different?
The addition patterns are different because Joe receives two dollars plus a dollar for each box he packs while Michael gets two dollars times the number of boxes he packs. Joe would have an addition symbol while Micheal would have a multiplication symbol in his expression.
