Question

Nila uses the equation c=8h to figure out the total amount c she should charge a customer if she babysits for h hours.

Part A. Find the constant of proportionality and explain what it means.

Part B. Nila decides to increase the rate she charges customers by $2 per hour. What equation should she now use to determine how much to charge her customers? Explain.

PLS HELP!!!

Answer 1

c = 10h

Explanation:

c = 8h

Where,

c = Total amount she should charge a customer

h = Number of hours

8 = amount charged per hour of babysitting

A. 8 is the constant of proportionality and it means Nila charges $8 per hour of babysitting

B. If she decides to increase the rate she charges customers by $2 per hour, then the new equation she should use to determine how much to charge her customers is:

c = (8 + 2)h

c = 10h
