Answer 1

Answer:

Heather pay will be 290 for 40 hours of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount he gets paid weekly =174

Number of hours of work =24

we need to find the amount of pay for 40 hours of work.

Also Given:

weekly pay is directly proportional to the number of hours.

Framing in equation form we get;

Amount Of Pay ∝ Number of hours of work

Hence Amount of Pay = k × Numbers of hours of work.

where k is constant.

Substituting the values we will find the value of k

$174 = k \times 24\\\\k = \frac{174}{24} = 7.25$

Now using this we will find the amount of pay when hours of work is 40.

Amount Of Pay = $7.25\times 40 = 290$

Hence Heather pay will be 290 for 40 hours of work.
