Question

If you are paid hourly, your salary can be found from the formula Salary = hours worked x hourly rate. Even if you're not paid by the hour, your salary and hours worked are related by the same equation.

a) If an employee has a constant hourly rate, does his salary vary directly or inversely with the hours worked? What happens as he works more hours?

b) If an employee has a constant salary, does his hourly rate vary directly or inversely with the hours worked? What happens as he works more hours?If you are paid hourly, your salary can be found from the formula Salary = hours worked x hourly rate.

Answer 1

an employee with a fixed, constant hourly rate will earn more as they work more hours

E=wage times hours E=wh

that's a direct relation between E and h

if the employee has a fixed constant salary then it's an inverse relation to hours worked

E=a constant = K

w=E/h = K/h

w = K/h is an inverse relation, as hours worked increases the hourly wage rate decreases.

E=a fixed salary = wh, as h increases, w decreases
