Linerar Equations
Hourly rate of $8.00 an hour for a guaranteed 40 hours
no question.
But there will be a guaranteed pay of 8*40 = $320
That is the question. We have to write that into a linear equation
well, if x is the number of hours worked, and y is the pay,
y =
320 if x <= 40
8x if x > 40
It's a piecewise function, since it changes at x=40 hours

To calculate the total pay for a guaranteed 40-hour workweek at an hourly rate of $8.00, you can use a linear equation.
First, let's define the variables:
- Let "t" represent the total pay (in dollars).
- Let "h" represent the number of hours worked.
Based on the given information, we know that the hourly rate is $8.00, so each hour of work corresponds to $8.00. Therefore, the equation can be written as:
t = 8h
Now, since we are considering a guaranteed 40-hour workweek, we substitute "h" with 40:
t = 8(40)
By evaluating this expression, we find:
t = 320
Therefore, the total pay for a guaranteed 40-hour workweek at an hourly rate of $8.00 is $320.
