Complete Question:

The equation y 10x describes the amount of money Sandra earns, where x is the number of hours she  works and y is the amount of money she earns

The table shows the amount of money Susan cams for different numbers of hours worked

Susan's Earnings

Time (h)           Money Earned

5                              40

8                              64                

10                             80

(a) How much money does Sandra eam per hour? Show your work

(b) Who earns more per hour? Justify your answer

a)

y = 10x is sandra's equation. To find her hourly rate, we need to find how much she earns in "1" hour. Since x is hours, we plug in x = 1 and find y (which is her pay).

y = 10x

y = 10(1)

y = 10

$10 is Sandra's hourly rate.

b)

To find who earns more per hour, we need to find the hourly rate of Susan as well from the table. Then compare.

5 hours = $40 so per hour is 40/5 = 8

8 hours is 64, so per hour 64/8 = 8

10 hours is 80, so 80/10 = 8

The table is justified at $8 per hour.

We know Sandra earns $10/hr and Susan earns $8 per hour. So Sandra earns more per hour.
