Question

Mr. Luong makes fifteen dollars an hour. Which equation models the situation?

Let h represent the number of hours worked.
Let d represent the total dollars earned.
d = 15h
h = 15d
d = 15 + h
h = 15 – d

Answer 1

The equation that models the situation where Mr. Luong makes fifteen dollars an hour, with \( h \) representing the number of hours worked and \( d \) representing the total dollars earned, is:

\[ d = 15h \]

This indicates that the total dollars earned (d) is equal to 15 times the number of hours worked (h).
