Question 260736
Since Bill "works 8 hours he will receive $50", we know that he gets {{{50/8=6.25}}} dollars an hour. Now let h=number of hours that Bill works and s=Bill's salary.


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*8=50}}} dollars. Or if he works for 12 hours, then he will get {{{s=6.25*12=75}}} dollars.
