Write a function rule for the table.

a) h = 7.50p

b) p = h + 15

c) p = 15h

d) p = 7.50h

explain your answer! : )

The correct answer is:  [D]:   " p = 7.50 h " .

The pay, "p" , is a function of the hours worked.

When h = 2,  (h = number of hours);  

         the pay, "p" ,  is equal to " 7.50 * 2 "  = 15.00 dollars" ; as shown on table.

When h  = 4  ;  p = " 7.50 * 4 = 30.00 dollars" ; as shown on table .

When h = 6 ; p = " 7.50 * 6 = 45.00 dollars" ; as shown on table.

When h = 8 ; p = " 7.50 * 8 = 60.00 dollars" ; as shown on table. 

The answer would be d because every two hours someone works they get $15 and for the equation we must know how much they work for one hour so that it works with the equation (we'd have to simplify it down do how much paid up per hour). so half of 15 is 7.5 so the equation would be p=7.50h (standing for $7.50 per hour).
