To find how much you earned per hour, you can divide the total earnings by the total number of hours worked.
The equation that represents this relationship is:
Total Earnings = Earnings per Hour × Total Hours
Let's use the letter "x" to represent the earnings per hour and "h" to represent the total hours worked.
Based on the information provided, the equation is:
164 = x × (4 + 8)
Simplifying this equation, we have:
164 = x × 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 12, we get:
164/12 = x
Thus, the correct equation is:
B. 4h + 50 = 8h + 164
The equation that represents this relationship is:
Total Earnings = Earnings per Hour × Total Hours
