Asked by David
You have decided to get a job to pay for a car to drive.
You estimate it will cost you $300 per month to buy and maintain the car.
You get a job that pays $9.10 per hour.
Write an equation for your pay as a function of the hours worked (Use x for the hours and y for the pay).
Then find the inverse equation and calculate the number of hours you must work to earn enough money to afford the car.
I think that from this I can write the equation z = y*x where I can replace the y with the pay rate of $9.10, so I think the equation should be z = 9.10x.
I have no clue if this is write and am thoroughly confused with the wording of this problem.

300 = $9.10x
x = 32.97 rounded to 33 hours out of approximately 40 * 4 = 160 hours worked per month.
