Question

Caroline earns $139.50 for 6 hours of work. If she makes a constant hourly wage, which table represents the relationship between the number of hours she works and her total earnings?

Answer 1

Table A.

Explanation:

$139.50 / 6 hours = $23.25 an hour

1 hour of work = $23.25 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

2 hours of work = $46.50 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

3 hours of work = $69.75

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

4 hours of work = $93 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

5 hours of work = $116.25 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

6 hours of work = $139.50 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

7 hours of work = $162.75 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

8 hours of work = $186 earned

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

9 hours of work = $209.25

(now add $23.25 for the next hour of work)

10 hours of work = $232.50

and continued on...

(I did ten hours of work to help out if you had to write the hours and money earned) I hope this helps :)
