how do i solve this

Question

You earn a weekly allowance of 12$ you mow 9 lawns for 10$ each, you work at an ice cream shop for 26 hours 8$ an hour you sell newspapers 8 days and earn 20$ a day. What is the equation and solution of algebraic expressions?

Answer 1

Income = allowance + lawn money +ice cream job + newspaper sales

= 12+10(9) +8(26) + 20(8)

=12+90+208 +160

=$470 for 8 days

although there's a problem combining a weekly allowance for 7 days with 8 days of newspaper sales, plus other work without specifying if it's for 7, 8 or some other time period

but probably, roughly $470 for about a week or so. Reasonable estimate.
