Answer 1

Given:

Rita and Tina each make $11 an hour working as cashiers at a supermarket.

Last week, Rita worked r hours while Tina worked t hours.

Rita also worked overtime hours during the week, for which she was paid an extra $32 flat wage

To find:

Which expressions represent the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina?

Solution:

For Rita:

The per-hour charges of working as cashiers  = $ 11

No. of working hours per week = r hours

∴ The charges o f working for r hours = $ 11r

Also, the overtime charges for the week = $ 32

∴ Rita's weekly charges = $ (11 r + 32)

For Tina:

The per-hour charges of working as cashiers  = $ 11

No. of working hours per week = t hours

∴ The charges o f working for t hours = $ 11t

∴ Tina's weekly charges = $ 11t

So,

The total weekly wages of Rita and Tina is,

= 11 r + 32 + 11t

= $ [11(r + t) + 32]

Thus, the expression representing the total weekly wages of both Rita and Tina is:

$\ \:\boxed{\bold{11(r + t) + 32}}$
