Clover the Clown charges $49.50 for a private party event and $55.25 for a community event. He did 4 private party events and 3 community events each week for 5 weeks. How much money did Clover the Clown earn altogether?

Answer 2

So, let's first figure out how much money Clover the Clown makes in a week.

Let's call private parties p and community events c. w=amount per week.

\[49.5p+55.25c=w\]
