Question 67342: Hi, I need help with the following: Thanks in advance!
1. Jeff makes 5 dollars per hour plus $7.50 as a one time start fee. Write an expression for how much Jeff made after x hours.
2. A scuba diving hotel offers divers two plans. Plan A gives 3 nights' lodging and 4 dives. Plan B gives 5 nights' lodging and 8 dives. Let x be the number of dollars they charge per night and y be the number of dollars per dive. Write two expressions, one for the amount you would pay for Plan A and the other for Plan B.
3. The waitress at a restaurant makes $32 per day and the cook makes $50 per day. In addition they divide the tips received in such a way that the waitress gets 70% and the cook gets 30%. Let x be the number of dollars in tips in a day. Write an expression for the total amount of money (wages and tips) the waitress and cook make a day (one equation per person).

1.
If Jeff makes $5 per hour, then after 5 hours he makes 5x dollars and we are told that $7.50 is a one-time start fee:
So the answer is $5x+$7.50
2.
Plan A--------3x+4y=amount you would pay under Plan A
Plan B--------5x+8y=amount you would pay under Plan B
