Question

sunny earns $12 per hour delivering cakes. she worked for x hours this week. unfortunately, she was charged $15 for a late delivery on tuesday. how much money did sunny earn this week? write your answer as an expression. $

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total earnings before charge

Sunny earns $12 per hour and works \( x \) hours, so total earnings before charge is \( 12x \) dollars.

Step2: Subtract the late delivery charge

She was charged $15, so subtract that from the total earnings before charge. The expression becomes \( 12x - 15 \).

Answer:

\( 12x - 15 \)
