Question

Amelia works as a babysitter for an hourly wage of $8. Which equation represents the relationship between Amelia's total earnings (y) and the number of hours she works (x)?

1. 8y = x
2. y + 8 = x
3. y = 8x
4. y = x + 8

Answer 1

3. y = 8x

Explanation:

y = 8x

earnings (y)=$8×number of hours (x)

8 dollars is her hourly wage and that multiplied by the number of hours she works will give you her total earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

3, y = 8x, is the correct answer. Y represents her total earnings, which is equal to the number of hours she works when multiplied by 8.
