Question

Gianna’s grandmother paid her to shovel the driveway. Gianna earned $10 each time she shoveled, plus $2.00 for every inch of snow on the ground. How much did Gianna earn for shoveling when the snow was 4.5 inches deep?

Answer 1

Answer: $19

Step-by-step explanation: We know Giana earned $10 for shoveling. We know she makes $2 for every inch of snow on the ground. She shoveled 4.5 inches.

To find how much money she got from shoveling 4.5 inches, simply multiply $2 by 4.5

$2.00 x 4.5 = $9 from shoveling 4.5 inches of snow.

Now add $9 to the initial value of $10

$10 + $9 = $19 earned in total.
