Let x be the amount earned per hour.
The amount earned on Saturday is 4x and the amount earned on Sunday is 8x.
The total amount earned is 4x + 8x + $50, which is equal to $164.
Combining like terms, we get 12x + $50 = $164.
To find out how much you earned per hour, we need to isolate x.
Subtracting $50 from both sides, we get 12x = $114.
Finally, dividing both sides by 12, the equation to find how much you earned per hour is x = $9.
You work for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday. You also receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164. Which equation can you use to find how much you earned per hour?
