Explain why you chose the following rules above.
According to your rule for Jamie, if Jamie made $20 an hour, would her total money earned increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning.

Jamie

E = 35H

Michael

E = 4,500M

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie's job paid her $35 an hour, while Michael's job had a $4,300 monthly salary.

Where,

E = Money earned

H = hours worked

M = months worked

Jamie

E = 35H

Where,

E = Total Amount earned

35 = amount earned per hour

H = Number of hours

** There is a mistake in the figures you gave for Michael. There are two different figures but I will go with 4,500

Michael

E = 4,500M

Where,

E = Total amount earned

4,500 = amount earned per month

M = Number of months

If Jamie made $20 an hour,

E = 20H

Let H = 1

E = 20(1)

= $20

When Jamie made $35 an hour

Assume H = 1

E = 35H

E = 35 × 1

= $35

Therefore, if Jamie made $20 an hour, her total money earned

will decrease

This is because, the higher the amount earned per hour, the higher the total amount Jamie will earn

correct answer is c. just did it
