Answer 1

y = 11.50x <== ur equation

Answer 2

Answer: our required equation model will be

11.5x = y

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Let total earnings in dollars be y

Let number of hours worked be x

Since cost of each hour is $11.50

According to question, we get our equation :

`11.5x=y`

i.e. Product of cost of per hour and number of hours 'x' is equal to total earning 'y'.

Hence, our required equation model will be

11.5x = y
