Question

which expression represents the total amount of money arianna earns this week? $3c + 2c + 95c$ $3 + 2 + 95$ $3c + 2c + 95$ $3 + 2 + 95c$ earnings on monday + earnings on tuesday + earnings on wednesday arianna’s work schedule monday 3 hours cutting hair tuesday 2 hours cutting hair wednesday answering phones

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Monday's earnings

Arianna works 3 hours cutting hair on Monday. Let \( c \) be the earnings per hour for cutting hair. So Monday's earnings are \( 3c \).

Step2: Analyze Tuesday's earnings

She works 2 hours cutting hair on Tuesday. So Tuesday's earnings are \( 2c \).

Step3: Analyze Wednesday's earnings

On Wednesday, she is answering phones. From the options, we assume her Wednesday earnings are \( 95c \) (since the other options without \( c \) for Wednesday don't make sense for monetary earnings).

Step4: Total earnings

Total earnings = Monday's earnings + Tuesday's earnings + Wednesday's earnings = \( 3c + 2c + 95c \).

Answer:

\( 3c + 2c + 95c \) (the first option)
