Rafael earns $10.50 per hour helping his neighbor with their chores. He is curious how much money he will earn depending on the number of hours he works. Write an equation that describes the situation. Use x to represent the independent variable and y to represent the dependent variable.

y=10.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

The y in this equation represents the dependent varible which is our output what we are solving for. We know that Rafeal gets $10.50 per hour but we don't know how many hours he works so to represent the time we use the variable x. If we were to solve this we would take the hours that he worked and multiplied the number of hours by $10.50 to get y the cost which he earns.
