Question

Pablo makes 8 dollars for each hour of work. write an equation to represent his total pay P after working H hours

Answer 1

Since Pablo makes the same amount for each hour this means that we have a driectly proportional realtionship between the pay and the hours he works.

This type of relationships have the form:

`y=kx`

where k is the constant of proportionality.

In this case the constant of proportionality is 8 then the equation is:

`P=8H`
