Math Problem Statement

Ivanna makes 9 dollars for each hour of work. Write an equation to represent her total pay p after working h hours.

Solution

The problem asks to write an equation that represents Ivanna's total pay, denoted as pp, after working hh hours, given that she makes 9 dollars for each hour of work.

The total pay pp can be calculated by multiplying the number of hours worked hh by her hourly wage, which is 9 dollars.

Thus, the equation to represent her total pay is:

p=9hp = 9h

This equation means that for every hour hh Ivanna works, her total pay pp increases by 9 dollars.

Would you like further clarification, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would the equation change if Ivanna made $12 per hour instead of $9?
  2. What would be her total pay after working 5 hours?
  3. If Ivanna wanted to make $90, how many hours would she need to work?
  4. What is the relationship between the number of hours worked and the total pay?
  5. How would you graph this equation on a coordinate plane?

Tip: Always ensure units are consistent in an equation. In this case, dollars per hour matches hours worked!
