Kyung works 5 hours at a restaurant each Wednesday. He also earns $37 a week delivering newspapers. Kyung makes a total of $79.50 each week. If m represents the amount he makes per hour at the restaurant, which equation can be used to find the value of m?
5 m + 37 = 79.50
5 m = 79.50
37 m = 79.50
37 m + 5 = 79.50
You want to multiply 5 and m because m represents the amount he makes each hour and he works 5 hours each Wednesday. Then you add that to 37 to get $79.50.
