Question

One week, Gabriela and Luis earned the same amount of money. Gabriela earned $7.50 per hour babysitting and an additional $10 cleaning her neighbor's garage. Luis earned $6.25 per hour doing yardwork. During the same week, Luis did yardwork for 3 hours more than Gabriela babysat. Let h represent the number of hours Gabriela babysat. Which equation correctly represents this situation? •7.5(h+3)=6.25+10 •7.5h=6.25(h−3)+10 •7.5(h+3)+10=6.25h •7.5h+10=6.25(h+3) •7.5h+10=6.25(h−3)

Answer 1

•7.5h+10=6.25(h+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Gabriela earned $7.50 per hour babysitting and an additional $10 cleaning her neighbor's garage.

Gabriela = 7.50h + 10

h = the number of hours Gabriela babysat

Luis earned $6.25 per hour doing yardwork. During the same week, Luis did yardwork for 3 hours more than Gabriela babysat.

Luis = 6.25x

Where x = total hours Luis did yardwork

x = h + 3

Luis = 6.25(h + 3)

Gabriela and Luis earned the same amount of money

Gabriela = Luis

7.50h + 10 = 6.25(h + 3)

The equation which correctly represents this situation is

•7.5h+10=6.25(h+3)
