The equation is y = ?

Respuesta :

The equation is y = 8.25x where y represents the amount Steven charges and x represents the number of hours Steven babysits

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of hours Steven babysits

y represents the amount Steven charges

To find the equation, calculate the amount Steven charges per hour

Hours : Amount

  3      :   $24.75

  1       :        x

Cross multiply

3x = 24.75

x = [tex]\frac{24.75}{3}[/tex]

x = $8.25

Amount Steven charges = $ charged per hour * number of hours

y = 8.25*x

Therefore, the equation is y = 8.25x
