As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.

Assuming juanita works for 8 hrs a day. i dont really know what is ask but i think i can make an equation out of it.

first let x be the time juanitas goes to the store and goes back to work

let y the amount of money she will retain

y = 70 (8) - 70x - 70 (0.5) y = 525 - 70x is the money she will earn for the day
