Question

Tomar's paycheck varies directly with the hours he works. When Tomar works 5 hours, he gets paid $60.00.
How much does Tomar make in 8 hours?
$75
$80
$96
$120

Answer 1

\(P=w\times t\)
\(P=\text{Paycheck}\)
\(w=\text{hourly wages}\)
\(t=\text{time worked}\)

We have,
\(60=w(5),~\text{Solve for w.}\)

Once you know w, you can plug in the value for \(t=8\)

Answer 2

60 divided by five is 12
he makes 12 the hour
8 times 12 = 96

Answer 3

Or alternatively,
\(\large{\dfrac{5}{60}=\dfrac{8}{x}}~\text{Solve for x.}\)

Answer 4
