Suppose you work at a job where your pay varies as the number of hours you work. Your pay for 7.5 hours. Find your pay for working for 30 hours.

Question

I need to find the amount of money I would earned if I worked for 30 hours.

Answer 1

I am sorry Alyssa I do not see enough information in your question to solve. But, I can give you some conceptual help.

If your pay is directly proportional to the number of hours worked then you will be able to find this equation of use.

Total = constant * X

Total pay = pay rate * time worked

For instance if the total pay for 7 hours is equal to 120$ you can plug these two components to find the pay rate...

120$ = 7hr * X $/hr

120$/7hr =X$/hr

Use the pay rate with the total time for your question and you should find the total pay.

I hope that this will help you conceptually Alyssa.

Answer 2

Hi Alyssa, ( need that )

How is paid for 7.5 Hours

Multiply with 4 to get for 30 hours

as 7.5 X = 30

X= 4
