Question 2 • Algebra I

Joe told Mickey he got an hourly raise at work and his new rate will be 10 point 2 5 dollars per hour. Mickey wants to know what Joe’s hourly rate was before his raise. If r represents the amount of the raise, which expression represents Joe’s hourly rate before his raise?

Answer
A
10 point 2 5 minus r
B
r plus 10 point 2 5
C
10 point 2 5 plus r
D
r minus 10 point 2 5

Explanation

Joe’s new hourly rate is $10.25, which is his rate before the raise plus the amount of the raise, r. To find his rate before the raise, subtract r from $10.25. So the expression is “10.25 minus r,” choice A.
