Question

Olivia received a $700 signing bonus when she accepted a job as a nurse. If she makes $24 an hour, which equation models Olivia's total pay y in dollars as it relates to the number of hours x that she works?

Answer 1

y = 24x + 700 would be an accurate answer

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The equation will be :
`y=24x+700`

Explanation:

Olivia received a $700 signing bonus when she accepted a job as a nurse.

She makes $24 an hour.

Let the number of hours she works be 'x'

So, at a rate of $24 per hour, she makes $24x for 'x' hours.

And $700 is a fixed amount so it will not be used with variable.

Thus the equation that forms to get 'y', the total pay in dollars is :

`y=24x+700`
