Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ryan works mowing lawns and babysitting. He earns $8.20 an hour for mowing and $7.70 an hour for babysitting. Therefore, the expression for the total amount that he would earn if he mows lawns for x hours and babysits for y hours would be
8.2x + 7.7y
Therefore, the amount that he would earn for 3 hours of mowing and 7hours of babysitting is
(8.2 × 3) + (7.7 × 7)
= 24.8 + 53.9
= $78.7
