Hello! First, let's get some important information:

Luke works in the:

  • week → grocery store → $16/hour
  • weekend → nursery → $22/hour

Now, let's analyze the questions:

a) How much does he earn if he works 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery?

To find the amount he will receive, you must multiply the amount of 1 hour by the number of hours worked. Look:

[tex]\mathrm{Grocery\:Store}\\\\\$16 \cdot 5 \:\mathrm{hours}= \$80\\\$22 \cdot 8\:\mathrm{hours}=\$176[/tex]

b) How much does he earn if he works g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery?

[tex]\$16 \cdot \mathrm{g} \:\mathrm{hours}= \$16\cdot\mathrm{g}\\\$22 \cdot \mathrm{n}\:\mathrm{hours}=\$22\cdot\mathrm{n}[/tex]

c) Total pay, 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery:

You'll just have to just add the value in each of the jobs:

$80 + $176 = $256

d) Total pay, g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery:

Adding the values of each job:

$16g + $22n

Hope this helps!
