Question

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?

Answer 1

p = 0.7(rh + b)

We want to isolate h so start by dividing both sides by 0.7

p/0.7 = rh + b

Subtract b then divide both sides by r
