Amanda uses the equation y = kx to determine how much money (y) she earns after working any number of hours (x). Amanda earned $350 after working 40 hours. What is the value of k in Amanda’s equation?
Given the equation y = kx Also given that she: earned $350 after working 40 hours y = how much earned x = number of hours Plug it in y = kx 350 = k(40) divide both sides by 40 to find out how much k is 8.75 = k
