Question

Pam,nurse,made $93 in 6 hours determine an equation that represents how much she gets paid per hour

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} y=(93)/(6) \\ y=15.5 \end{gathered}`

she gets paid

Step-by-step explanation

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

Step 1

let

x, the hours Pam works=1

y= money she is paid per hour

if

`\begin{gathered} 6\text{ hours}\rightarrow93\text{ usd} \\ \text{the proportion is} \\ (6)/(93) \end{gathered}`

then

`\begin{gathered} 1\rightarrow y \\ \text{the proportion is} \\ (1)/(y) \end{gathered}`

Step 2

the proportion is the same, so

`\begin{gathered} (6)/(93)=(1)/(y) \\ 6y=93\cdot1 \\ y=(93)/(6) \\ y=15.5 \end{gathered}`
