Question

Employee B got a one time bonus of $90. He makes $13 an hour. If he was paid $415, how

many hours did he work?

Answer 1

y=mx+b format... 8th grade math class memories...ahhh

Explanation:

Employee B-

one time bonus of 90 gets plugged into the b spot

13 an hour goes into the m space

415 total paid goes into the y spot

415=13(x)+90

subtract 90 from 415 and 90

325=13(x)

divide 325 by 13 and 13

25=(x)

Now plug x into the y=mx+b format with all your other numbers to check

y=13(25)+90

y=415!!

Hope this wasn't too confusing, good luck!
