What is an equivalent equation solved for h? h = (h equals StartFraction p Over 0.7 EndFraction minus b divided by r.– b)÷ r h = h equals StartFraction p Over 0.7 EndFraction minus b divided by r.– b ÷ r h = h equals left-parenthesis StartFraction p Over 0.7 EndFraction right-parenthesis divided by r minus b.÷ r – b h = h equals StartFraction p minus b Over 0.7 EndFraction divided by r. ÷ r

Answer 1

h = (p/0.7 - b) ÷ r

Explanation:

Anastasia uses the equation p = 0.7(rh + b) to estimate the amount of take-home pay, p, for h hours worked at a rate of r dollars per hour and any bonus received, b. What is an equivalent equation solved for h?

Given:

p = 0.7(rh + b)

Divide both sides by 0.7

p / 0.7 = rh + b

p/0.7 - b = rh

p/0.7 - b ÷ r = h

h = (p/0.7 - b) ÷ r
