  1. B) Can you write an equation relating the hours worked (h) and wages earned (W)?

14x       12x

 

  1. Graph the two tables on graph paper. (Or if you prefer, use your device or desmos to make a digital graph then screen clip it into your assignment)
  2. Which of these two jobs would you prefer to have based on this information and why? What are some other factors to consider when comparing the two jobs?

I would pick the subway job because first off because it has a better pay and second off you get tips if people are lucky. Some of the factors to compare are the price and hours.

6. You want to save $1,000. Pick one of the jobs. State how many hours a week you could work while going to school. How long will it take to save the money, assuming you have no expenses or taxes to pay?

Say I work 4-10pm that 6 hours a day. I work 5 days a week after school.          14x(6)= 84$

It should take me about a 2 ½ weeks of work to make enough                     84 x 5= 420$
