How much did the garden club earn in all?

Answer 1

30 * t

Explanation:

The garden club earned $15 per hour by weeding neighborhood gardens for t hours.

A generous donor has agreed to double their earnings.

Double their earnings means we multiply by 2

So earning 15 per hour becomes 2*15 = 30 per hour

Given the number of hours is t

Earnings = $30 times number of hours

Earnings = 30 * t

Answer 2

The answer should be $30.
