we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form e=kn

In this problem we have

e -----> amount of money a worker earns

n -----> number of hours worked

k is the constant of proportionality

k=e/n

Find the value of k

we have

For n=8 hours, e=$104

sibstitute

k=104/8

k=$13 per hour

The linear equation is

e=13n
