Question

A cashier at Giorgio's Grocery Store gets paid $8 per hour for shifts of 6 hours or less and $12 per hour for working shifts over 6 hours long. Which function best represents this situation?

Answer 1

Given :

A cashier at Giorgio's Grocery Store gets paid $8 per hour for shifts of 6 hours or less.

And $12 per hour for working shifts over 6 hours long.

To Find :

A function best represents this situation.

Solution :

Let, number of hours is h and amount paid is y .

For, h ≤ 6

y = 8h

For, h > 6

y = 12h

Therefore, function representing this is :

y( h ) =  8h  , x ≤ 6

            12h , x > 6

Hence, this is the required solution.
