If you are paid an hourly wage of $9.00, determine an equation for finding your weekly gross pay (P)for t hours. Specify an amount between 25 and 40 hours worked for 1 week and determine your gross pay for that week.
9t = P
9 * 30 = $270
If you are paid an hourly wage of $9.00, determine an equation for finding your weekly gross pay (P)for t hours. Specify an amount between 25 and 40 hours worked for 1 week and determine your gross pay for that week.
To determine the gross pay for a week based on an hourly wage, we can use the equation:
P = r * t
where P is the gross pay, r is the hourly wage, and t is the number of hours worked.
In this case, the hourly wage is $9.00, so we substitute r = $9.00 into the equation:
P = $9.00 * t
To find the gross pay for a specific number of hours, we substitute the value of t into the equation.
Let's choose 35 hours for 1 week:
P = $9.00 * 35
P = $315.00
Therefore, if you worked 35 hours in a week with an hourly wage of $9.00, your gross pay would be $315.00.
