Which expression represents her gross pay each day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\"><strong>The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the expression representing Harriet&#8217;s gross pay each day, we need to break down the problem carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Understanding the given information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem states that Harriet&#8217;s gross pay at the end of 7 workdays is represented by the expression:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>35h + 56 \\, \\text{dollars}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is her total pay for 7 workdays. The goal is to find the amount she earns each day. Since Harriet earns the same amount each day, her total pay for 7 days is the product of her daily earnings and 7. Let\u2019s define her daily earnings as <strong>d<\/strong> (in dollars).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, her total pay for 7 workdays can be written as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>7d = 35h + 56<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Solve for d (her daily earnings)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the daily earnings, we need to solve for <strong>d<\/strong>. To do this, we simply divide both sides of the equation by 7:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>d = \\frac{35h + 56}{7}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we simplify the right-hand side of the equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>d = \\frac{35h}{7} + \\frac{56}{7}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>d = 5h + 8<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Harriet earns <strong>5h + 8<\/strong> dollars each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The expression representing Harriet&#8217;s gross pay each day is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>5h + 8<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that for each day she works, Harriet earns an amount that is 5 times <strong>h<\/strong> plus 8 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation of the solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to solving this problem was recognizing that Harriet&#8217;s total pay for 7 workdays, <strong>35h + 56<\/strong>, is the result of multiplying her daily pay by 7. From there, we solved for her daily pay by dividing the total by 7 and simplifying the expression. The solution <strong>5h + 8<\/strong> indicates that her daily pay depends on some factor <strong>h<\/strong>, and it is always 8 dollars more than 5 times <strong>h<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image-226.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207360\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harriet earns the same amount of money each day.
