melania 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 $13 per hour. Her cashier job pays her $9.25 per hour. In one week, Melania worked 38 hours. She earned a total of $434. let c represent the number of hours that Melania works as an office clerk. which equation can be used to find how many hours melania worked in both jobs.
Uh what are the equation options?
lol, without an equation we can't help you
choices: 13c + 9.25(c – 38) = 434 13c + 9.25(38 – c) = 434 13c + 9.25(434 – c) = 38 9.25c + 13(38 – c) = 434 from the problem: c = # of hours worked as an office clerk she works a total of 38 hours so 38 - c = # of hours worked as a cashier (hourly wage as clerk)(hours worked as clerk) + (hourly wage as cashier)(hours worked as cashier) = total earnings plug in the appropriate #'s and variables to build the equation
