Solution:

If Luke gets paid $16 per hour to work at the grocery store and $22 per hour to work at the nursery, then if he works 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery he gets:

earnings at the grocery store + earnings at the nursery =

($16 x 5) + ($22 x 8) = $80 + $176 = $256.

Then the correct answer is: if he works 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery he gets $256.

Following this order of ideas, we can say that if he works g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery then he gets:

earnings at the grocery store + earnings at the nursery =

($16 x g) + ($22 x n) = $(16g + 22n)

Then the correct answer is: if he works g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery he gets $(16g + 22n)
