Question

Sammy earns money for college by walking dogs and mowing lawns. She earns $3 for each dog she walks and $25 for each lawn she mows. Which expression can be used to determine the amount of money she earns from walking w dogs and mowing m lawns

Answer 1

x = 3w + 25m

Explanation:

The number of dogs she walks (w) and the number of lawns that Sammy mows (m) need to be multiplied by the amount of money that Sammy makes from each individual action. Both of these products are then added together to equal the total amount of money that Sammy has earned. All of this can be represented with the following expression where x is the total amount of money earned...

x = 3w + 25m
