Question

The equation y = 11x describes the amount of money Louis earns, where x is the number of hours he works and y is the amount of money he earns. The table shows the amount of money Carl earns for different numbers of hours worked. Carl’s Earnings
Time (h) 3 5 8 10
Money earned ($) 42 70 112 140
(a) How much money does Carl earn per hour? Show your work.
(b) Who earns more per hour? Justify your answer.
(c) Draw a graph that represents Carl’s earnings over time in hours.
Label the axes

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Carl earns $42 per 3 hours as given. To find the amount he earns per hourdivide:

$42/3 hours = $14/hour

(b) To see how much Louis makes per hour, simply plug in 1 for the hours value x:

y = $11(1 hours)

y = $11/hour

Thus Carl makes more than Louis.

(c) The equation of Carl's dollars per hour is similar to Louis' = 14x 

where x is the number of hours he works and y is the number of dollars he earns. Plug in whole number values of hours for x and plot the points (x, y) on a graph
