Deshaun works mowing lawns and babysitting. He eams $8.50 an hour for mowing and $7.30 an hour for babysitting. How much will he earn for 6 hours of

mowing and 5 hours of babysitting?

Step-by-step explanation:

7.30hr x 5hr = $36.50

8.50hr * 6hr = $51.00

51.00 + 36.50 = $87.50

Answer: $87.50

Step-by-step explanation: Lets write an expression to represent this situation.

(8.50 x 6) + (7.30 x 5)

Next solve inside the parentheses first. 8.50 x 6 = 51 and 7.30 x 5 = 36.50

Now we add

51 + 36.50 = 87.50

So in total, Deshaun will earn $87.50
