Question

Anastasia uses the equation p = 0.7(rh + b) to estimate the amount of take-home pay, p, for h hours worked at a rate of r dollars per hour and any bonus received, b.

What is an equivalent equation solved for h?

Answer 1

Given:

P = 0.7 (rh + b)

Let:

P = take home pay

r = rate (dollars per hour)

h = number of hours worked

b = bonus

h = ?

Sol'n:

P = 0.7 (rh + b)

P = 0.7* r* h + 0.7b

P - 0.7b = 0.7rh

(P - 0.7b) / 0.7r = h  (this is the answer)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 0.7 (rh + b)

Let:

P = take home pay

r = rate (dollars per hour)

h = number of hours worked

b = bonus

h = ?

Sol'n:

P = 0.7 (rh + b)

P = 0.7* r* h + 0.7b

P - 0.7b = 0.7rh

(P - 0.7b) / 0.7r = h  (this is the answer)
