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.
