Joe earns $25 per yard he mows in the summer.  If he also makes a one time amount of $100 for babysitting his brother, write an equation that can be used to determine the number of yards (y) he will need to mow to go to Italy for $3,100.  

• 25y - 100 = 3,100
• 3,100 - 100 = 25y
• 25y + 100 = 3,100
• 100y + 25 = 3,100

Natalie is a softball coach. She has a pitching private lesson with Kasey. Kasey's mom pays Natalie $11 per hour plus a $6 tip. Write an equation that represents the number of hours (h) of lessons Kasey took if the total cost was $39.

• 11 + 6h = 39
• 11h - 6 = 39
• 11h + 6 = 39
• 66h = 39

Speedy Boat Rental charges a $15 deposit fee plus $2 for each hour of use to rent a paddle boat.  Write an equation to find out how many hours, h, they rented the Boat if the total cost was $33.

• h = 2(9) + 15
• 33 = 15h + 2
• h = 15(9) + 2
• 33 = 2h + 15

Eight less than 7 times a number is the same as 4 more than 3 times the number

• x + 3 = x

• 8 = x + 4 + 3

• 8 - 7x = 4 + 3x

• 7x - 8 = 3x + 4

An electrician charges $90 per hour along with a $60 traveling fee.  If your bill was $600, write an equation that can be used to determine how many hours (h) it took the electrician to complete the job.

• 60 - 90h=600
• 90h + 60 = 600
• 60h + 90 = 600
• 60h - 600 = 90
