You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since Bill \"works 8 hours he will receive $50\", we know that he gets $\"50%2F8=6.25\"$ dollars an hour. Now let h=number of hours that Bill works and s=Bill's salary.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if Bill works 'h' hours, then he will get paid $\"6.25h\"$ . So the equation that we're looking for is $\"s=6.25h\"$ . For example, if Bill works 8 hours, then he will get $\"s=6.25%2A8=50\"$ dollars. Or if he works for 12 hours, then he will get $\"s=6.25%2A12=75\"$ dollars. \n" ); document.write( "
