Answer: For part A, the formula for the employee's pay is <em><u>P</u></em>ay = hourly <em><u>r</u></em>ate times <em><u>h</u></em>ours . P = r × h The equation is P = 13h To find how many hours are required to earn a given amount, fill in given values and solve for the missing variable . 7800 = 13h h= 7800/13 600 hours needed.
For part B, the formula for this employee's pay is <em><u>P</u></em>ay = <u><em>B</em></u>onus + hourly <em><u>r</u></em>ate times <em><u>h</u></em>ours . P = b + rh
The answer would be 46 - This is because you would do 85/10 to find the ratio. Then you would get 8.5. You would take 8.5 then divide 391 by 8.5 getting 46.
