Question

2. Wilton drives a taxicab. He charges $40 per hour. One passenger gave Wilton a tip of $30. He gave Wilton a total of $150. He is wondering how many total hours he drove the passenger.
(a) Define the unknown in the scenario and assign it a letter or symbol.
(b) Write an equation to represent the amount of money Wilton earned on the trip.

Answer 1

 The unknown is rather the question of how many hours the taxi drove. We can give it the symbol X.

Your equation would be: 40x + 30 = 150

(SOLVED):
40x +30(-30) = 150(-30)
40x= 120
40/40=120/40
x=3

*The driver drove the passenger for 3 total hours*

Hope this was helpful to you! Have a good one.

Answer 2

Answer:

The unknown information is the time. So let t represent it.

The equation is 40t + 30 = 150
