\n" ); document.write( "Here's my question:
\n" ); document.write( "Wendy babysits for the Crest family every Saturday night. She charges $10 per hour for the first 4 hours and 50% more for time after the first 4 hours. She is paid the full hourly rate for any part of an hour she works. Wendy's parents do not let her babysit for more than 8 hours. Draw a graph showing how much money Wendy can earn.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I know that this will be a step function, but I'm not that sure what to take 50% of.\r
