Question

Jen’s parents pay her $10 per week as allowance. Jen can also earn $2 for

each chore she performs during the week.
a. Write an expression for the amount Jen will receive in one week if
her parents pay her allowance and also pay her for doing x chores.
Explain your reasoning.
b. Suppose Jen performs 5 chores. Use your expression to find how
much money she will receive that week from her parents.
c. Jen has 4 weeks to save $144 to go to a concert. How many chores
must she work each week to reach her goal? Write and solve an equation

Answer 1

A = 10 + (No. Chores x 2)

B = 10 + (5x2) = 10 + 10 = 20

C = 144 minues 40 = 104. 104 divded by 2 = 52
