Question

Flo worked for 9 hours and earned $108.00. She is planning to work 40 hours this week. What equation will she need to use to find out how much she will be paid?

Answer 1

y = 12x

Explanation:

$108 / 9 hours * 1 hour =

108/9 * 1=

12 * 1 = $12 per hour

let's say y = total amount of money. x = total number of hours.

y = 12x ==> 12 is the number of dollars earned per hour

Substitute 40 for x to find how much Flo will get paid for 40 hours at work.
