4. Jose earns \( \$ 5 \) for every " \( A \) " on his report card. His mom fines him \( \$ 2 \) for any "N" he earns in Conduct. If Jose has \( 4 A^{\prime} \) and 1 N on his report card, how much does he earn for his report card? Write your answer in the space provided. W

To calculate how much Jose earns, we can break it down step-by-step. Since he earns \( \$ 5 \) for each " \( A \)" and he has \( 4 \) A's, we multiply: \( 4 A \times \$ 5 = \$ 20 \). However, since he also received \( 1 \) N, he incurs a fine of \( \$ 2 \): Now we subtract the fine: \( \$ 20 - \$ 2 = \$ 18 \). Thus, Jose earns **\( \$ 18 \)** for his report card.
