Question

Teresa makes 9 dollars for each hour of work. Write an equation to represent her total pay p after working h hours

Answer 1

Answer:

P=9h

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Teresa makes 9 dollars for each hour of work, we can say:

9 dollars/1 hour.

Her total pay will be on one side of the equation:

p=

Since we do not know how many hours, we put the variable ‘h’ as it says in the problem in the hour section:

h hours

Every hour, she makes 9 dollars. Every ‘h’ hour, she makes 9xh or 9h dollars since you multiply the amount of money you get each hour by the number of hours. For example, if she worked 2 hours, you multiply 2x9 to get 18 dollars, which is what she earned in 2 hours.

p=9h
