2. Cheryl gets paid $8 per hour for her job at the record store.  She made a total of $96 last week.  Which equation models this situation?

• 96h = 8
• h/96 = 8
• 8h = 96
• h/8 = 96

Write an equation models the following statement:
 17 less than h equals 42

• 17-h=42
• h-17=42
• h+17=42
• 17+h=42

5.  After dropping 5ºF, the temperature was 37ºF.  Which choice models this situation?

• d - 37 = 5
• d + 5 = 37
• d - 5 = 37
• d + 37 = 5

Which equation represents the total cost of a repair by an electrician after x hours?
An electrician charges $90 per hour plus a $50 travelling fee.

• y = 50 - 90x

• y = -50x + 90
• y = -90 - 50x

Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie's car bill was $63.

• 7x + 35 = 63

• 66x = 39

Jim paid a gym membership fee of $50, plus $20 per month.  Jim has paid a total of $290 to the gym.  Which equation matches this situation?

• 50 + 20m = 290

• 50 + 20 = m
• 50m - 20 = 290

Casey has $50 to spend at Best Buy. She wants to buy a DVD for $14 and some CDs that cost $12 each. How many CDs can she buy?

• 12 + 14x = 50
