Answer 1

Hello! First, let's get some important information:

Luke works in the:

• week → grocery store → $16/hour
• weekend → nursery → $22/hour

Now, let's analyze the questions:

a) How much does he earn if he works 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery?

To find the amount he will receive, you must multiply the amount of 1 hour by the number of hours worked. Look:

$\mathrm{Grocery\:Store}\\\\\ 16 \cdot 5 \:\mathrm{hours}= \ 80\\\ 22 \cdot 8\:\mathrm{hours}=\ 176$

b) How much does he earn if he works g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery?

$\ 16 \cdot \mathrm{g} \:\mathrm{hours}= \ 16\cdot\mathrm{g}\\\ 22 \cdot \mathrm{n}\:\mathrm{hours}=\ 22\cdot\mathrm{n}$

c) Total pay, 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery:

Adding the values of each job:

$16g + $22n

Hope this helps!
