Question

The dollar amount (d) that erin earns varies directly as the number of hours (t) that she works. if she earns $206.25 in 25 hours, how many hours did she work if she earned $264?

Answer 1

d=t*m
d=dollar amount
t=hours
m=how much she earns per hour

Plug in the first set of numbers
$206.25=(25hr)*m
the amount she earns per hour is
$206.25/25hr = m = $8.25 per hr

So

$264=t*$8.25
264/8.25 = t
t = 32 hr
