Question

Harrison mows lawns and rakes leaves for his summer and fall weekend jobs. He gets $10 an hour to mow lawns and $8 an hour to rake leaves. If, during September, Harrison mows for m hours and rakes for 12 hours, which expression represents the amount of money he makes? Harrison mows lawns for 11 hours, so m = 11. How much money does he make in September?

Answer 1

Answer:

(10m + 96) Rs, 206 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Harrison gets per hour if he mows lawns = $10

Amount Harrison gets per hour if he rakes leaves = $8

(i)

Number of hours he mows lawns during September = m hrs

Number of hours he rakes leaves during September = 12 hrs

Amount he gets during September = 10 x m + 12 x 8

                                                          = (10m + 96 ) Rs

(ii)

Number of hours he mows lawns during September = 11 hrs

Number of hours he rakes leaves during September = 12 hrs

Amount he gets during September = 10 x 11 + 12 x 8

                                                          = (110 + 96 ) Rs

                                                          = Rs 206
