144 baskets

$y=2.5x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the total amount of money Gilbert earns and x be the number of baskets filled. So, we get the relation

$y=2.5x$

Some points which satisfy the equation is

$y=2.5\times 1\\\Rightarrow y=2.5$

$(1,2.5)$

$y=2.5\times 3\\\Rightarrow y=7.5$

$(3,7.5)$

$y=2.5\times 5\\\Rightarrow y=12.5$

$(5,12.5)$

His goal is to earn $360 so $y=360$

$360=2.5x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{360}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow x=144$

Hence, to earn $360 he must fill 144 baskets.

The algebraic relation is $y=2.5x$.
