Two friends, Damian and Nicole, took summer jobs. The equation y = 15. 52

represents Damian's earnings in dollars and cents, y, for working x hours.

Nicole earned $475 in 25 hours.



Answer :

Damian's hourly income is $3.48 less than Nicole's.

According to the information given in the question,

The given equation is,

y = 15.52x

It is representing Damian's earnings in dollars and cents.

The information given in the question about Nicole tells us that,

  • The dollars Nicole is earning = $475
  • The time duration in which Nicole is earning $475 dollars = 25 hours

So, Damian's hourly earnings,

Let x = 1

y = 15.52x = 15.52 x 1

y = $15.52

Nicole's hourly earnings,

= [tex]\frac{475}{25}[/tex]

= $19

Difference in incomes = 19 - 15.52

= $3.48

Therefore, Damian's hourly income is $3.48 less than Nicole's.
