Answer 1

To analyze the equation \(20h + 40 = 480\), we can break it down:

• The term \(20h\) likely represents payment for hours worked, where \(h\) is the number of hours worked and $20 is the pay per hour.
• The term \(40\) represents a fixed amount, which could be a bonus.
• The right side \(480\) represents the total amount Stacey was paid.

Now, let's interpret the options based on this breakdown:

1. "Stacey was paid $40 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $480 for each hour she worked."

   • Incorrect. The $480 should not represent payment per hour.

2. "Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $40 bonus and $20 for each hour she worked."

   • Incorrect. This suggests all payments are in the past but does not match the equation properly.

3. "Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked."

   • Incorrect. The bonus of $20 is misrepresented here.

4. "Stacey was paid $40 last week. She was paid a $480 bonus and $20 for each hour she worked."

   • Incorrect. The bonus is inaccurately high compared to $20 per hour.

5. "Stacey was paid $40 last week. She was paid a $40 bonus and $20 for each hour she worked."

   • Incorrect. The bonus and initial pay do not align with the equation.

6. "Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked."

   • This option is incorrect based on breakdown.

Based on the analysis, it seems none of the responses provided correctly interpret the equation \(20h + 40 = 480\) where \(20\) is the amount earned per hour, \(h\) is hours worked, and \(40\) is a bonus, totaling $480.

Considering the options carefully, if they were stated accurately, the most plausible interpretation based on the structure of the equation fits the second option, depending on slight adjustments in interpretation of who received what. Please double-check the wording of each option for additional clarity.

Answer 2

uh abc or d?

Answer 3

Based on the equation \(20h + 40 = 480\), the situation that best fits this equation is:

C. "Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $40 bonus and $20 for each hour she worked."

Here's the reasoning:

• \(40\) in the equation represents the bonus.
• \(20h\) represents the $20 earned for each hour worked.
• \(480\) is the total amount she received.

So, option C aligns with the breakdown of the equation.
