Tim works part-time at a retail store. His salary varies directly with the number of hours worked. Last week, he earned $99.45 for 13 hours of work. This week, he earned $160.65. Write and solve an equation that represents this scenario.

Answer (3)

99.45/13=$7.64 This is Tim's hourly wage.
So to find out how many hours he worked this week you would write the equation: 160.65=7.64•h
• means multiplication H=hours worked.
You should solve it by dividing 160.65/7.64=H (hours worked).

Tim's hourly wage is approximately $7.66. Using this, we can calculate that he worked about 21 hours this week after earning $160.65. This was determined through a direct variation equation that links his total earnings to hours worked.
