Question

Write an algebraic expression To Represent the Pay in dollars For Working "x" hours at a rate of eight dollars and seventy-Five Cent per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=8.75x$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

In this problem we have a proportional variation

Let

y ----> the pay in dollars

x ----> the number of hours worked

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin.

The slope or constant of proportionality in this problem is equal to

$k=\ 8.75\ per\ hour$

substitute

The algebraic expression is equal to

$y=8.75x$
