Mark charges $15.25 per hour for doing yard work around his neighborhood. How much would he make if he works 3, 5, and 7 hours? Create a sequence to help determine your answer.

Answer Options:

$45.75, $76.25, $91.00
$30.50, $76.25, $106.75
$45.75, $61.00, $106.75
$45.75, $76.25, $106.75

Answer 1

To determine how much Mark would make for working 3, 5, and 7 hours at a rate of $15.25 per hour, we can calculate his earnings for each amount of time worked.

1. For 3 hours:
\[
3 \text{ hours} \times 15.25 \text{ dollars/hour} = 45.75 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. For 5 hours:
\[
5 \text{ hours} \times 15.25 \text{ dollars/hour} = 76.25 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. For 7 hours:
\[
7 \text{ hours} \times 15.25 \text{ dollars/hour} = 106.75 \text{ dollars}
\]

Now compiling the results, we have the sequence for the amounts earned:
- For 3 hours: $45.75
- For 5 hours: $76.25
- For 7 hours: $106.75

Thus, the sequence of earnings based on the hours worked is:
\[
\{45.75, 76.25, 106.75\}
\]

Comparing this to the answer options provided:

- $45.75, $76.25, $91.00
- $30.50, $76.25, $106.75
- $45.75, $61.00, $106.75
- $45.75, $76.25, $106.75

The correct answer is:
**$45.75, $76.25, $106.75**
