Albert was paid $85 for washing a neighbor’s car. This is one fourth of the amount of money he earned all summer. Write an equation using x to find the total amount Albert earned during the summer?

hiking down a winding trail.

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
