Sunny earns $12 per hour delivering cakes. She worked for x hours this week. Unfortunately, she was charged $15 for a late delivery on Tuesday. How much money did Sunny earn this weekend?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$(12x -15)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

  • Sunny is paid $12 for working per hour
  • Number of hours worked in a week = x
  • Charges for late delivery during the week = $15

We are required to calculate his earnings in the course of the week

Therefore;

Gross amount earned = Payment per hour × number of hours

                                     = $12 × x hours

                                     = $12x

Net amount earned = Gross earnings - charges

                                  = 12x - 15

Thus, the amount earned is $(12x -15)
