Question

Rajindri, a physician assistant who works in an emergency room, earns $163 for every two hours that she works.

Which equation represents the relationship between d, the number of dollars Rajindri earns, and t, the amount of time Rajindri works, in hours?

A. d= 163 + t

B. d= 163/2 × t/2

C. d = 163t

D. d = 81.50t

Answer 1

The correct equation is C. d = 163t.

This equation shows a direct proportionality between the amount of time worked (t) and the amount of money earned (d). For each hour worked, Rajindri earns $163, so the total amount earned (d) is equal to the hourly rate of $163 multiplied by the number of hours worked (t).
