Question

Peter works at a a bakery shop. He is paid $9 for every hour he works. Determine which of these statements can be used to find the amount Peter earns over a period of time. A.] Let s=9xt where s represent s the amount earned and 9xt represents the product of the rate and time worked.B.] Let s=9-t where s represent s the amount earned and 9-t represents the amount of time workedC.] Let s=9+t where s represents amount earned and 9+t represents the sum of the rate and amount of time workedD.] Let s=9÷t where s represents amount earned and 9÷t represents the rate per hour

Answer 1

We have the following:

In this case, the total value of earnings would be the product of each hour worked (t) by the value of each hour worked ($ 9)

`s=9\cdot t`

therefore, the answer is:

A.] Let s=9xt where s represent s the amount earned and 9xt represents the product of the rate and time worked.
