Anastasia uses the equation p = 0.7(rh + b) to estimate the amount of take-home pay, p, for h hours worked at a rate of r dollars per hour and any bonus received, b.

What is an equivalent equation solved for h?

h = (– b)÷ r
h = – b ÷ r
h = ÷ r – b
h = ÷ r

What is an equivalent equation solved for h?

h = (– b)÷ r
h = – b ÷ r
h = ÷ r – b
h =  ÷ r

welshfella · Answer

p = 0.7(rh + b)
divide both sides by 0.7
rh + b = p/0.7

subtract b from both sides
rh = (p/0.7) - b

can you finish this off?

would it be c

im lost now

welshfella · Answer

none of the options is correct

welshfella · Answer

you need to divide both sides by r

welshfella · Answer

h = (p/0.7r) - b/r
or
h   =  p  - 0.7b
        --------
             0.7r
