The amount of a persons paycheck p varies directly with the numbers of hours worked t. for 16 hours of work, the paycheck is $124.00 write a equation for the relationship between hours of work and pay

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the amount of a persons paycheck p varies directly with the numbers of hours worked t.

Since we know that the equation for direct variation is in form: , where, k represents the constant of variation.

We are also told that for 16 hours of work, the paycheck is $124.00. We can represent our given information as:

Upon substituting p=124 and t=16 in directly proportional equation we will get,

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 16 to solve for k.

Upon substituting the value of constant of variation in our equation we will get,

Therefore, the equation represents the relationship between hours of work and pay.
