Question

You are interested in buying a new set of wireless headphones that cost $200. You have recently started a part-time job where you earn $15 an hour. Write an expression that represents how much money you will earn if you work x number of hours.(1 point)

Answer 1

15x = 200

Explanation:

Why 15x?

We are told that the number of hours is x and that you are earning $15 an hour. If you are earning $15 an hour we have to multiply x by $15 where x is the number of hours you work.

Why = 200?

The headphones cost $200 so the money has to equal to 200 so we would be able to find out how many hours it would take earn $200

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
