Latifah makes $12 per hour. she works 18 hours per week. she calculates that in 4 weeks, she will earn $864. if her hourly rate and weekly hours are rounded to the nearest ten, which amount represents an estimate of the amount she will make over 4 weeks? is her original calculation reasonable?

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

Rounding her hourly rate to the nearest ten, we get $10.  

Rounding her number of hours to the nearest ten, we get 20.

This gives us an estimate of 10(20)(4) = $800

Her original calculation is reasonable; it is higher because the actual hourly rate is larger than the estimate, so her amount of pay should be higher than the estimate.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
