To determine how much you get per hour, divide 44 by 4, 88 by 8, and 132 by 12. Each time you get 11, so you get 11 dollars an hour.

If y = money earned and x = number of hours worked, then

y=11x
because the money you get is 11 times the amount of hours you work.

Hope this helps and I can provide further explanation if needed!
