Question

The amount of a person’s paycheck p varies directly with the number of hours worked t. For 10 hours of work, the paycheck is $57.50. Write an equation for the relationship between hours of work and pay.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The variation is direct, i.e. more the time of work, more the amount.

For 10 hours, the paycheck is $57.50,

so for 1 hour, the paycheck is $57.50 ÷ 10, or $5.75.

This means that for t hours of work, the value of the paycheck will be $5.75 × t.

So for the equation, assuming that p is the paycheck value (in dollars) and t is the number of hours,

p = 5.75 × t
