Well, Gina makes quite a bit to be a waitress...but let's focus on the math!
We can make an equation based on the information given to us...
$6.00 per hour
PLUS tips
Now, notice how 6.00 is a constant, it never changes.
Her tips and her hours do change, however, so they must be made into variables.
We can form the equation 6(times how many hours) + (tips)
OR
6x + y = z
X - hours
Y - tips
Z - total money earned
Now we know what the variables mean, let's put these into action!
6(37) + 43 = Z?
Simplify: 6 * 37 = $222.00.
222 + 43 = Z
Simplify: 222 + 43 = $265.00
The total amount she earned altogether is $265.00!
