We know, equation of ellipse is given by :

Here,
(h,k) is centre of the ellipse = (0,0).
a = major axis = 8.
b = minor axis = 4.
Putting all given value in above equation, we get :

Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
cost = 56 + 8t, where t is the number of hours worked for.
for 4 hours of work, cost = 56 + 8 x 4 = $88
Step-by-step explanation:
6x=16
÷6 both sides
x=16/6 or 8/3
