Yesterday, Gabby made $112 at her pizza delivery job. $34 was tips, and the rest was her regular rate of $12 per hour.

Question

) Which equation can you use to find how many hours, h, Gabby worked yesterday?
12(h + 34) = 112
34(h + 12) = 112
34h + 12 = 112
12h + 34 = 112

Answer 1

To find how many hours, \( h \), Gabby worked yesterday, we need to understand that her total earnings of $112 consist of her regular pay plus tips. She received $34 in tips, and the rest of her earnings came from her hourly wage of $12 per hour.

The amount Gabby earned from her regular pay can be expressed as \( 12h \), where \( h \) is the number of hours worked. Therefore, her total earnings can be represented by the equation:

\[ 12h + 34 = 112 \]

So, the correct equation to use to find how many hours Gabby worked yesterday is:

12h + 34 = 112
