Define variables and write the sentence in function notation. An hourly worker earns $16 per hour. The amount earned is a function of the number of hours worked.
A) A = amount earned ($); x = number of hours worked; $16 A ( x ) = x$
B) A = amount earned ($); x = number of hours worked; $x ( A ) = 16 A$
C) A = amount earned ($); x = number of hours worked; $A ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 16 } x$
D) A = amount earned ($); x = number of hours worked; $x ( A ) = \frac { 1 } { 16 } A$
E) A = amount earned ($); x = number of hours worked; $A ( x ) = 16 x$

The amount earned (A) is dependent on the number of hours worked (x), therefore it is a function of x. The equation that represents this relationship is A(x) = 16x. This is the only choice that correctly represents the relationship between the variables.
