Linda Andersen · Answer 1

The answer is C. 11t $9 per hour+$2 per hour = $11 per hour

t=# of hours

Hunter Fuller · Answer 2

So, if she now makes 9 dollars per hour and she wants to make 2 dollars more per hour, this means she will make 9+2=11

11 dollars per hour,

So the correct answer is 11t - option C.

we can also write it as

(9+2) t

this is equivalent to 11t.
