Question

Denise earns $30 an hour. She works 40 hours per week. A. Create and solve an expression to represent how much money Denise earns in a week.

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the hours Denise works in a week, and y be her earnings per week.

y = ($30/hr)(x)

For a 40 hour week, Denise earns:

y = ($30/hr)(40 hr/week)

y = $1,200 in a week.

Answer 2

Answer:

X = 30*40

Step-by-step explanation:

30 x 40 = 1, 200

So she earns 1, 200 a week.
