Answer 2

6*9.50=y

where y is how much you made on saturday. Can you tell me how much that is?

Answer 3

$57

Answer 4

Great so the amount you make on sunday will be the total minus what you made on saturday

$133.00-$57.00=$76.00

Answer 5

x*9.50=$76.00

divide both sides by 9.50 and you get your answer for x

x is the number of hours.

Answer 6

\[x=\frac{76.00}{9.50}\]
