Question

Emelia earns $8.00 per hour plus a gas allowance of $3.50 per day at her job. How much does Emilia's job pay in a day when she works 5 hours? Write an expression and evaluation for 5 hours.

Answer 1

Answer: Required expression = 8h +3.50

Emilia's job pay  $ 43.5 in a day when she works 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hourly earning = $8.00

gas allowance per day =  $3.50

Pay per day = (Hourly earning ) x (Number of hours ) + (gas allowance per day)

Let h = number of hours

Pay per day = 8h +3.50

If Emily worked for 5 hours, then put h= 5, we get

Pay per day = 8(5) +3.50

= $ 40 +3.50

= $ 43.5

Required expression = 8h +3.50

Emilia's job pay  $ 43.5 in a day when she works 5 hours.
