Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...
(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18
(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18
Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...
c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
We have been given that the take home pay is $1500 and 22% is withheld as taxes.
Let us assume that the gross pay is x dollars. Therefore, take home pay must be 78% of x because 22% of the pay is withheld as taxes, so you get to take home only 78% of the gross pay.
Since we have been given that take home pay is $1500 and it is 78% of the total gross pay. Therefore, we can set up an equation:

Therefore, gross pay is $1923.08
