Anyone good at Algebra 1?

A store allows customers to fill their own bags of candy. Troy decides he only wants chocolate-covered pretzels and gumdrops. Chocolate-covered pretzels sell for $0.89 per pound, and gumdrops sell for $0.65 per pound. Troy’s bag weighs 1.8 pounds and it cost $1.29.

Answer 2

A=0.89*0.5+0.65*1.3=1,29

Answer 4

Kersha has two jobs. During the day, she works as an office clerk, and in the evening she works as a cashier. Her office job pays her $12.00 per hour, and her cashier job pays her $8.25 per hour. In one week, Kersha worked 55 hours, and she earned a total of $585.

If c represents the number of hours Kersha works as an office clerk, write an equation that can be used to find how many hours Kersha worked in both jobs.
(Points : 1)
8.25c + 12(55 – c) = 585
12c + 8.25(585 – c) = 55
12c + 8.25(c – 5) = 585
12c + 8.25(55 – c) = 585

I have to ask you: do you want to know the result or to be able to count it on your own?
