In your post, in this problem's formulation, different parts are NOT CONSISTENT one with the other.

If Theo charges customers $50 per hour, then the formula to represent the amount of money
Theo makes in x hours is   y = 50x dollars - NOT   y = 15x dollars.

In opposite, if the formula is   y = 15x dollars, it means that Theo charges customers 15 dollars per hour.

So, writing in your post is INCORRECT and MUST BE FIXED.

As it is written in the post, the problem's formulation is INCORRECT, SELF-CONTRADICTORY and INAPPLICABLE.
