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

C. d= 163t represents the relationship between d, the number of dollars Rajindri earns, and t, the amount of time Rajindri works, in hours. This is because Rajindri earns $163 for every two hours that she works, which means she earns $81.50 for each hour that she works. Therefore, the equation that relates the number of dollars earned to the number of hours worked is d = 163t.
