Let's start by finding out how much money Paula made from shoveling driveways on Saturday.
Paula charges $12 to shovel one driveway. Since she shoveled 6 driveways on Saturday, her earnings from Saturday would be:
\[ \text{Earnings from Saturday} = 6 \times 12 = 72 \text{ dollars} \]
We know that Paula made a total of $144 for the weekend. We can find out how much she made on Sunday by subtracting her Saturday earnings from her total earnings:
\[ \text{Earnings from Sunday} = 144 - 72 = 72 \text{ dollars} \]
Now, let's find the number of driveways she shoveled on Sunday. Since she charges $12 per driveway, we can set up the following equation:
\[ 12x = 72 \]
where \( x \) is the number of driveways she shoveled on Sunday. To solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{72}{12} = 6 \]
So, she shoveled 6 driveways on Sunday.
Equation
The equation representing the number of driveways shoveled is:
\[
12x + 72 = 144
\]
(where \( x \) is the number of driveways shoveled on Sunday)
Answer Summary
Paula shoveled 6 driveways on Sunday.
