Question

a. Harry started a new job where he earns the same amount every hour. Last week, he worked 9 hours and earned $108. Write the linear equation for this situation, where y represents the money earned, in dollars, and I represents the number of hours worked.​

Answer 1

I=12

Explanation:

y=108

I=108/9

I=12

Answer 2

• y = 12l

Explanation:

This is the proportional relationship

Let the equation be:

• y = rl, where y- money earned, l- number of hours, r- hourly rate

We have:

• 108 = 9r
• r = 108/9
• r = 12

The required equation is:

• y = 12l
