The basketball team is holding several fundraisers to save up enough money to buy team uniforms. Washing cars earns $16 per hour and doing yardwork earns $20 per hour. Together the team members worked a total of 23 hours and earned $424.
Here is a partially-completed table that can be used to represent the amount of money the team raised:
