question 35

Multiple Choice

You have a job on an assembly line for which you are paid $12 per hour plus $0.50 per unit assembled. Write an algebraic model to find the number of units produced in an eight-hour day if your earnings for the day are $144 and then solve the resulting algebraic equation. Round your solution to the nearest integer.

• A)equation: \(0.50 x - ( 12 ) = 144\) solution: 240
• B)equation: \(0.50 x - 8 ( 12 ) = 144\) solution: 1
• C)equation: \(8 ( 12 ) + x = 144\) solution: 48
• D)equation: \(8 ( 12 ) + 0.50 x = 144\) solution: 96
• E)equation: \(x - 8 ( 12 ) = 144\) solution: \(9\)
