Question

write an equation to show the relationship between h, the number of hours worked and p, the amount paid.

Explanation:

Step1: Assume hourly rate

Let the hourly rate be \( r \). Then, the amount paid \( p \) is the product of hours worked \( h \) and rate \( r \), so \( p = r \cdot h \).

Step2: Determine rate (implied, e.g., if rate is 1, but likely missing data? Wait, maybe standard wage - but since buttons have 7,8,9,10, maybe rate is, say, if h=1, p=? Wait, maybe the problem assumes a constant rate. Let's assume a common rate, but maybe the original problem had a table. Since not, but the equation form is \( p = r h \). If we take r as, say, 8 (from buttons), but likely the equation is \( p = r h \), and if we assume r is a constant, the equation is \( p = k h \) where \( k \) is hourly pay.

Answer:

Assuming a constant hourly pay \( r \), the equation is \( p = r \cdot h \). (If a specific rate was intended, e.g., from a table not shown, but with given buttons, a possible equation could be \( p = 8h \) (if rate is 8), but generally, \( p = r h \) where \( r \) is hourly rate.)
