What epression represents his new pay? b) If he works 6 h, the epression 6(r + 2) represents his pay. What is the epression if he works for 8 h? c) The worker makes $184 for working an 8-h night shift. Write an equation for this problem. d) How much does he make per hour when he works the night shift? First solve for r. Then add $2. The worker makes per hour on the night shift. e) Research 1 job that pays an hourly or monthly wage plus a premium. Briefly describe the job and eplain why a premium is paid for the job Math Link MHR 567
