Joe and maggie are working at mcdonalds. joe makes $8.50 per hour while maggie makes $9.00 per hour. how much will they both make altogther if they work x number of hours

m = 8.50 x + 9x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this we have to write an expression where:

x : hours worked

m : money earned by Joe and Maggie

Joe makes $8.50 per hour, so if he works x hours he earns $8.50 (x) .

Maggie makes $9 per hour, so if she works x hours she earns $9 (x) .

If they work x number of hours, they both will make:

m = 8.50 x+ 9x
