Question

cameron earns $7 per hour at her after school job. The total amount of her paycheck varies directly with the amount of ime she works. Write a direct equation for the amount of money y that she earns for working x hours

Answer 1

`y=7x`

Explanation:

Given:

Cameron earns $7 per hour at her after school job.

The total amount she earns varies directly with amount of time she works.

If
`x` represents the amount of time she works in hours, and
`y` represents the total amount she earns in dollars.

We have,

`y` ∝
`x`

Thus,

`y=kx`

where
`k` is constant of proportionality.

Now, here we are given with the rate at which she earns which $7 per hour, so the proportionality of constant would be =7.

So, the direct equation for the amount of money she earns can be given by:

`y=7x` (Answer)
