This week I worked 12 hours. When I picked up my paycheck, it had my pay for the 12 hours and $120

for the time I worked last week. If the total paycheck was $360, how much did I get paid for each hour?

the question is about porportionality

y=kx

120=k(12)

k=120/12

k=10

360=10(x)

360=10x

x=360/10

x=36
