You have a summer job running errands for a local business. you earn 12.25 per day, plus $1.50 for each errand. write and solve an equation to find how many errands you need to run to earn $45.00 in one day.

Hello!

You have already earned 12.25 dollars. So now, you need to earn $31.75. If each errand is $1.50, you can divide $31.75 by $1.50. You would get roughly 21.17. Since you can not do 21 errands and .17 of an errand, you would need to do about 22 errands to get the money you need, which is the $31.75. 1.50 times 22 is equal to thirty-three, so youd be getting about a dollar and 25 cents more than what you need. We can had 33 (what we earn from our 22 errands) to 12.25, which is what we already have, and we get 45.25! So you can earn more money than you need to earn.

Hope this helps, have an awesome day!

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.

step-by-step explanation:
