When karen serves jury duty, she will receive $15 each day for the first three days she serve. after three days, she will receive $24 each day she serves. how much will karen receive if she serves for 10 days?

Karen received $ 213 for 10 days of serving

Solution:

Given that When karen serves jury duty, she will receive $15 each day for the first three days she serve

To find: money received by karen if she served for 10 days

First three days = $ 15 each day

Therefore,

first day = $ 15

second day = $ 15

third day = $ 15

After three days, she will receive $24 each day she serves

4th , 5th, 6th, 7th , 8th , 9th, 10th day = $ 24 each day

If she serves for 10 days,

money received = 15 + 15 + 15 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24

money received = 3(15) + 7(24)

money received = 45 + 168 = 213

Thus karen received $ 213 for 10 days of serving

93.8

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = x

second number = 3x+7

total = 49

(x)+(3x+7)= 49

4x+7 = 49

4x = 42

x = 42/4

x= 10.5

x= 10.5

3x+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 93.8

hope this
