The amount of a person’s paycheck p varies directly with the number of hours worked t. For 10 hours of work, the paycheck is $57.50. Write an equation for the relationship between hours of work and pay.

p = t + 57.50
p = 57.50t
p = 5.75t
p = t + 5.75

Answer 2

Since p directly varies with t, we can write down p=kt where k is a non-zero constant.

Answer 3

We know that when t=10, p=57.5 (when he works for 10 hours, the money is $57.5).

Answer 4

So, we substitute that in

Answer 5
