A student works two different jobs. At the first job, they earn $8.50 per hour working at a fast

food restaurant. At their second job, they are paid $25 to take care of landscaping at their

neighbor's house once a week. Write a function rule showing that the amount the student

earns, (ℎ), depends on the number of hour worked, ℎ, and use it to determine how much the

student earns each week. Then evaluate the expression to determine how much the student will

earn next week if they are scheduled to work 12 hours and 45 minutes at the restaurant.

a. (ℎ) = (8.5 + 25) ℎ; $417.08

b. (ℎ) = 8.5ℎ + 25; $130.83

c. (ℎ) = 25ℎ + 8.5; $327.25

d. (ℎ) = 8.5ℎ + 25; $133.38

    1st job $8.50 per hour

    if h hours is worked per week in the restaurant, hence the total amount in the restaurant

    = 8.5*h = 8.5h

    For cleaning the house once a week to earn $25

    Total from the two jobs = (8.5h + 25)

    (h) = (8.5h + 25)

    if 12 hours and 45 minutes was scheduled for the week.

    h = 12 hours 45 minutes; 45 minutes = 3/4 hour = 0.75 hour

    h = 12 hours 45 minutes = 12 + 0.75 = 12.75 hours.

    (h) = (8.5h + 25) h = 12.75

    (h) = (8.5*12.75 + 25)

    (h) = (8.5*12.75 + 25) = 108.375 + 25 = 133.375 ≈ $133.38

    So the answer is option

    d. (ℎ) = 8.5ℎ + 25; $133.38

    Hope this explains it.
