Question

Carlos earns $11 per hour at his job. Let z represent the number of hours he worked in May. Let y represent

Answer 1

Answer: 11z + 11y

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos earns his pay by the hour. That means that to find the cash made in a given month, the formula is:

= Carlos payment per hour * Number of hours worked in a month

In May he worked z hours:

He earns $11 per hour and works z hours, expression for earnings for the month is:

= 11 * z

= 11z

In June he worked y hours:

= 11 * y

= 11y

The total he earned in both May and June is:

= 11z + 11y
