Answer 1

To find out how much Bailey will earn at his two jobs this week, we can evaluate the expression \(13c + 18t\) using the given values for \(c\) and \(t\).

We have:

• \(c = 10\) (hours worked as a cashier)
• \(t = 12\) (hours worked as a technology support specialist)

Now, substituting these values into the expression:

\[ 13c + 18t = 13(10) + 18(12) \]

Calculating each term:

\[ = 130 + 216 \] \[ = 346 \]

Therefore, Bailey will earn $346 at his two jobs this week.

The correct response is $346.
