The income I of a computer analyst varies directly as the number of hours h worked. If the analyst earns $384 for working 8 h, how much will the analyst earn for working 26 h?

Answer 1

because it is directly related you need to find the proportion of money earned per hour worked:

384/8=$48/hr

Now multiply that number by the hours worked (26)

48*26=$1248

Answer 2

From first sentence I = kh, k is a constant

384 = 8k so k = 48

h=26, I = 26 x 48 = 1248
