You made $280.00 for working 40 hours, which is described by 40y=$280.00x. Determine your earnings per hour.

Answer 1

To find your earnings per hour, you can use the equation given:

\[ 40y = 280 \]

Here, \(y\) represents your earnings per hour. To solve for \(y\), divide both sides of the equation by 40:

\[ y = \frac{280}{40} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ y = 7 \]

Therefore, your earnings per hour are $7.00.
