Question

Diana earns $8.50 an hour working as a lifeguard. Write an equation to find Linda's money earned m for any number of hours h. Make a table to find Diana's earnings if she works 4, 5, 6,7 hours and graph the ordered pairs.

Answer 1

The equation that best represents the amount of money earned by linda is as follows:
 m = 8.50 * h.
 The table will be given by the substitution of the number of hours in the written equation:
 h 4 5 6 7
 m 34 42.5 51 59.5
 The graph can be seen in the attached image.
