Property used to solve this problem is <em>Algebra.</em>
Jason earns <em>17$</em> which is fixed earning irrelevant of hours.
hours is variable which means <em>n</em>.
how much will he earn = 17 * number of hours (n).
For n = 1, amount of money he would earn = 17 *1 = 17$
For n =2, amount of money he would earn = 17 *2 = 34$
For n = 3, amount of money he would earn = 17*3 = 51$
For n = 40, amount of money he would earn =17*40 = 680$
