12+40+SC

Answer 1

To represent Sierra and Charlie's combined earnings for the week, we need to consider their hourly wage and the bonus Charlie received.

• Sierra earns $12 per hour for S hours, which is represented by \( 12S \).
• Charlie earns $12 per hour for C hours, which is represented by \( 12C \).
• Additionally, Charlie received a $40 bonus.

Thus, the combined earnings can be expressed as:

\[ 12S + 12C + 40 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

12S + 12C + 40
