The amount of money Camilla earns varies directly with the number of hours she works. If she earns $150 when she works 20 hours, how much will she earn for working 60 hours?

What is k ? (k = y/x)

What is the equation for the direct variation situation? (y = kx)

How much will she earn for working 60 hours?

Respuesta :

What is k ? (k = y/x)

     If y is dollars earned and x is hours worked,

k = y/x

k = 150 dollars /20 hours

k = 7.50 dollars per hour

What is the equation for the direct variation situation? (y = kx)

y = kx

y = (7.50)(60)

y = 450

How much will she earn for working 60 hours?

y = $450

       She will earn $450 after working for 60 hours.
