Question

Your paycheck​ (before deductions) varies directly as the number of hours you work. If your paycheck is

​$158.40

for

18

​hours, find your pay for 10 hours.

Answer 1

We need to know how much you get paid each hour in order to answer this.

If you work 18 hours, and earn $158.40, how much do you get paid each hour?

18 x n = 158.40

n = 158.40/18

n = $8.80

Now multiple the hourly wage times 10 hours.
