Juan told Sylvia he got a $0.50 raise this week and his new hourly rate will be $10.25 an hour. Sylvia wants to know what Juan’s hourly rate was before his raise. Which equation and solution can be used to solve this problem? r minus 10.25 = 0.50: Add 10.25 to both sides. The answer is $10.75.
r + 0.50 = 10.25: Subtract .50 from both sides. The answer is $9.75.
r minus 0.50 = 10.25: Subtract .50 from both sides. The answer is $10.75
r + 10.25 = 0.50: Subtract .50 from both sides. The answer is $9.75.
