Answer 1

(a) The complete table

`\begin{array}{cccccc}Hours & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} &{5}\ \\ {Amount} & {\$9.50} & {\$19.00} & {\$28.50} & {\$38.00} & {\$47.50} \ \end{array}`

(b) $38.00

(c) 3 hours

Explanation:

Given

`Earnings = \$9.50` per hour

See attachment for complete question;

Solving (a): Complete the table

To complete the table, we simply multiply the earnings by the number of hours.

So, we have:

`Hours = 2 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 2 = \$19.00`

`Hours = 3 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 3 = \$28.50`

`Hours = 4 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 4 = \$38.00`

`Hours = 5 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 5 = \$47.50`

Solving (b): Earnings, if Megan works for 4 hours

In (a) above, we have:

`Hours = 4 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 4 = \$38.00`

This implies that Megan will earn $38.00

Solving (c): Hours to earn $28.50

In (a) above, we have:

`Hours = 3 \to Earnings = \$9.50 * 3 = \$28.50`

This implies that Megan will work for 3 hours to earn $28.50
