Question

At work, greg makes $14 for every hour that he works. Write a function to represent how many dollars, D, greg has entered from working, then calculate how much money he made after working 5 hours

Answer 1

`D(h) = 14 h`

He made $70 in 5 hours

Explanation:

Given

`Hourly\ Rate = \$14`

Required

Determine a function to represent the amount he made

Determine the amount made in 5 hours

To determine the function (D), we simply multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked (h).

So, we have:

`D = Hourly\ Rate * h`

`D = 14 * h`

`D = 14 h`

Represent D as a function

`D(h) = 14 h`

Solving (b): Amount in 5 hours

We have that

`D(h) = 14 h`

In this case:

`h = 5`

So, we have:

`D(5) = 14 * 5`

`D(5) = 70`

Hence, he made $70 in 5 hours
