Explain why you chose the following rules above.
According to your rule for Jamie, if Jamie made $20 an hour, would her total money earned increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain your reasoning.

Jamie

E = 35H

Michael

E = 4,500M

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie's job paid her $35 an hour, while Michael's job had a $4,300 monthly salary.

Where,

E = Money earned

H = hours worked

M = months worked

Jamie

E = 35H

Where,

E = Total Amount earned

35 = amount earned per hour

H = Number of hours

** There is a mistake in the figures you gave for Michael. There are two different figures but I will go with 4,500

Michael

E = 4,500M

Where,

E = Total amount earned

4,500 = amount earned per month

M = Number of months

If Jamie made $20 an hour,

E = 20H

Let H = 1

E = 20(1)

= $20

When Jamie made $35 an hour

Assume H = 1

E = 35H

E = 35 × 1

= $35

Therefore, if Jamie made $20 an hour, her total money earned

will decrease

This is because, the higher the amount earned per hour, the higher the total amount Jamie will earn
