Question

Help please

Maggie earns money from working at the pet store and answering phones. She earns $10 each hour she works at the pet store and $0.25 for each phone call she answers. Maggie answered 60 phone calls and earned $115 last week

find

Part A: Create an equation that will determine the number of hours she worked at the pet store. (3 points)

Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality. (6 points)

Part C: How many hours did Maggie work at the pet store last week? (1 point)

Answer 1

h(t)= (p - 0.25(c))/10 number of hours she works is the money she earns in that week minus the number of calls she answered multiplied by 0.25 all that divided by 10
h(t)= 115 - 0.25(60)/10
h(t)= 115 - 15 /10
h(t)= 100/10
h(t)= 10
h(t) represents number of hours she worked
p represents the total amount she earned
0.25(c) represents the money she earns in respect to number of calls she answers represented by the letter c.

Answer 2

h = hrs she worked
p = phone calls she answered

h x 10 + p x .25 = maggies earnings

Part A
h x 10 + 60 x .25 = 115

Part B
h x 10 + 15 = 115 (multiplied 60 x .25)
h x10 = 100 (subtracted 15 from each side of the equation)
h = 10 (divided 10 into each side)

Part C
10 hrs

Hope this helps
