Question

Betsy works as a waitress. Today she worked an 8 hour shift, and was paid $92. How much is Betsy paid per hour?

Write an y = mx+ b equation to show her pay, p, using her found per hour pay, h, and x hours

Answer 1

$11.50 per hour

p = 11.5 * x

Explanation:

Betsy is paid $92 per 8 hours, or $11.50 per hour, so h (the per hour pay) is 11.50

If p is the pay, h is per hour pay, and x is hours, the formula would be

p = h * x + 0

p = 11.5 * x
