Question

Rachel tutors English. for each hour that she tutors, she earns 50 dollars. Let E be her earnings (in dollars) after tutoring for H hours. Write an equation relating E to H. Then use this equation to find Rachel’s earnings after tutoring for 19 hours

Answer 1

a. E = 50 H b. 950 dollars

Explanation:

a. Since Rachel tutors English for 50 dollars for each hours, her rate is 50 dollar per hour. If she tutors for time, H hours, Her earning E = rate × time = 50 × H

E = 50H.

b. If Rachel's earnings after tutoring for 19 hours is gotten by substituting H = 19 into the equation for the earnings, E.

So, E = 50H

E = 50 × 19

E = 950 dollars.

So, Rachel's earnings after 19 hours is 950 dollars.
