Amanda uses the equation y= kx to determine how much money (y) she earns after working any number of hours (x). Amanda earned $350 after working 40 hours. What is the value of k in Amand's equation?
k = y/x = 350/40 dollars/hour
Do I divide to get the answer ?
yes
To find the value of k in Amanda's equation, we can use the information given.
We know that Amanda earned $350 after working 40 hours.
Substituting these values into the equation, we have:
350 = k * 40
To solve for k, we need to isolate k on one side of the equation.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 40, we get:
350/40 = k
Simplifying, we have:
8.75 = k
Therefore, the value of k in Amanda's equation is 8.75.
